A Note on Color: Photography is captured under controlled lighting to represent this piece as accurately as possible. Black coral and opal color shifts with the angle of light and view, and colors may read slightly differently depending on your light source, screen calibration, and brightness.

Care: Your jewelry is a lifetime investment and a work of art — treat it with the care it deserves. Remove before sleeping, swimming, showering, or any water activity. Never apply lotions, hairspray, perfume, or cosmetics while wearing — always put on last. Avoid prolonged exposure to perspiration. Black coral scratches easily — avoid contact with harder surfaces, jewelry, or materials. Australian opals contain trace water within their structure — avoid sudden temperature changes, prolonged dryness, harsh chemicals, and direct heat, which can cause cracking or crazing over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, chlorine, and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a soft damp cloth only — do not use ultrasonic cleaners, steam, soap, or chemical jewelry cleaners. Check all prong settings and omega clips regularly for security. Store separately in a soft pouch away from heat and direct light. Annual inspection recommended — verify all 10 stone settings and omega clip mechanisms at each inspection.
