Crafted in 14ct yellow gold, this one-of-a-kind pendant showcases a natural Australian white crystal opal from Lightning Ridge with breathtaking pink, blue, and green flash. The freeform opal (26 x 15.9 x 2.34mm, 4.94cts) is accented with two bezel-set round sapphires — one in rich orange and the other a deep midnight blue — offering a striking contrast to the opal’s ethereal play of colour.

Cast in gold using the traditional carved wax method, the piece honours the raw natural beauty of Australian gemstones while delivering timeless luxury with a contemporary twist.

Take Care

Everyday care (all jewellery)

  • Remove prior to sport, manual tasks, showing/swimming, and sleep.
  • Avoid Impacts and sudden temperature changes.
  • Store pieces separately in soft pouches/compartments.
  • Clean most jewellery with warn water & mild detergent-free soap & a soft brush, then rinse and pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Metal care — Solid gold (9K/14K/18K)

  • Wipe with a soft cloth after wear; avoid harsh chemicals and abrasives.
  • For mixed stone settings, default to the gentlest method suitable for the most delicate stone present.

Professional checkups

  • Have prongs/claws and settings inspected every 6–12 months, or sooner if you notice movement/snags or after a hard knock.

Resizing

  • We do not recommend resizing rings from our Lightning Ridge Opal Collection. Opals are highly sensitive to heat, pressure and vibration; resizing can crack or craze the stone or compromise adhesives in layered constructions.

Opal (cleaning)

  • Hand clean only: no ultrasonic or steam. Use a slightly damp soft cloth or a quick lukewarm, mildly soapy rinse; do not soak for long.

Delicate stones (handle with extra care)

  • Opal, peridot (and some garnets): avoid ultrasonic/steam and hard knocks; stick to gentle hand cleaning.

Size & Fit

All ring sizes on our website are listed in US/Canadian sizes. Please refer to our size chart to find your recommended fit. For the most accurate result, we suggest visiting a local jeweller who can measure your finger professionally with calibrated tools.
