Top Quality Black Opal & Diamond Pendant- Lightning Ridge GEM

There's not much more to say about this opal pendant you can't see in the pictures. Believe it or not, this black opal is even more mesmerizing in person! Crafted by a jeweler friend who kept it after retiring, this pendant is now being offered for sale for the first time.

The custom 18k gold pendant is inspired by the Art Deco period, featuring an architectural style and solid construction. It is perfectly symmetrical, showcasing an opal at its center and adorned with large, natural diamond accents. 

This is a top-quality, gem-grade solid black opal from Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia, famous for producing genuine black opals and the distinctive "red on black" opal, like this. The opal dazzles with vibrant colors, radiating exceptional brilliance. Its play of color is beautifully dynamic, shifting with movement while remaining vivid from every angle, ensuring there is no dull side. 

This pendant can be worn beautifully against the skin or low over a blouse—it is truly a top-quality opal piece.
