Diamond Opal Toggle Necklace

A diamond-shaped Australian Boulder Opal in deep violet — the ironstone host gives this stone its shape, and the color shifts across the surface in hues of purple and blue depending on the light. Set in fine silver and hung on a sterling silver chain with a front toggle closure. Bold without being loud. Details: Stone: Natural Australian Boulder Opal (diamond shape, deep violet) Setting: Hand fabricated fine silver Chain: Sterling silver flat paperclip chain, 16 inches Closure: Front toggle Pendant approximately .75 inch All my work is hand-forged from sterling and fine silver sheet and wire, start to finish. Stones are sourced directly from sustainable miners and lapidary artists. It's the nature of handcrafted to have the possibility of slight imperfections. I see that as the beauty and character of handmade. Sterling silver develops a beautiful patina over time — a gentle buff with a soft jewelry cloth restores shine anytime.
