Top Quality Black Opal & Diamond Pendant- Lightning Ridge GEM

There’s not much we can say about this opal pendant that you can’t see for yourself in the pictures. Believe it or not, this black opal is even more mesmerizing in person! Made by a jeweler friend who kept it after retiring, it is now being offered for sale for the first time. The custom 18k gold pendant was designed with a nod to the Art Deco period, with an architectural vibe and solid build. The pendant is perfectly symmetrical, set with an opal at its center and encrusted with large, natural diamond accents. This is a top-quality, gem-grade solid black opal from Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia. This mine is renowned for producing the only genuine black opals and the distinctive “red on black” opals, such as this one. This opal dazzles with every color of the rainbow, radiating exceptional brilliance. Its play of color is beautifully dynamic, shifting with movement yet remaining vivid from every angle, ensuring there’s no dull side. This would look equally great worn on the skin or low over a blouse- truly a top-quality opal pendant.
