Boulder Opals are such wonderful stones; as they move, you can see flashy opal secrets sparkling within the patterned rock. This little beauty has it all: an intriguing pattern of browns with surprising flashes of red, green and blue. I gave this stone a simple setting with a texture that shimmers in the light. I cut the back out in a big heart to show off the opal flashes (who wants to hide opal?)! I added two sterling silver rings as a bail.
This is a small pendant for those who like their jewelry a bit more understated, but elegant and sparkly at the same time. This pendant is sold with an 18 inch snake chain.
SIZE: This pendant measures about 1 inch long by 5/8 inch wide. It comes with a removable 18 inch sterling silver snake chain.
