From rugged earth to radiant heirloom, this pendant unites two natural treasures discovered on our private fossicking expeditions — a pure gold nugget from Palmer River, Queensland, and twin sapphires from the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales.

The sapphires (0.15ct each, 0.30ct total) were unearthed in Australia's wild bushland, then tumbled and hand-faceted in our studio to reveal their vivid blue fire. Set within a 92–98% pure gold nugget and finished with an 18ct handmade bale, the piece retains the raw character of the land while reflecting the precision of true craftsmanship.

Measuring 14.56 × 11.29 × 5.71 mm and weighing 2.75 grams, it is a distinctive adornment — no two nuggets, no two sapphires, and no two stories are ever the same,  making this pendant a singular expression of luxury.

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.
