Oval Australian Opal & Diamond Necklace

Australian opals and round brilliant diamonds set in individually linked stations along a flexible flat Bismarck mesh chain — nine oval cabochons graduating in size from end to center, each carrying its own natural variation in play-of-color across red, green, blue, and yellow. The stones move with the chain, each station independently hinged, the opals shifting color with every angle of light and view. The opals are best enjoyed with mindful wear — avoid impact. Crafted with natural Australian opals, natural diamonds, and solid 14k yellow gold — wearable art that holds its value.

Color Note:

These 9 natural oval cabochons graduate in size from end to center, each carrying its own natural variation in pattern and dominant hue across red, green, blue, and yellow.

Stone Notes:

Australian opal is a hydrated silica, Mohs 5.5–6.5, known for its play-of-color — vivid shifting flashes that vary with the angle of light and view. These 9 natural oval cabochons graduate in size from end to center, each unique in pattern and dominant hue — beautiful and best enjoyed with mindful wear; avoid impact. Eight round brilliant diamonds complete the station sequence — natural carbon crystals, Mohs 10, white, bright, and precisely placed.

A Note on Color:

Photography is captured under controlled lighting to represent this piece as accurately as possible. Australian opal play-of-color shifts with the angle of light and view — individual stones vary in dominant hue, and colors may read slightly differently depending on your screen's calibration and light source.

Care:

Your jewelry is a lifetime investment and a work of art — treat it with the care it deserves. Remove before swimming, bathing, or any prolonged water exposure. Never apply lotions, creams, or perfume while wearing — always put on last. Avoid prolonged exposure to perspiration. Avoid impact and abrasive surfaces. Keep away from hot water, direct sunlight, and sudden temperature changes. Never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners. Clean gently with warm water and a soft damp cloth reaching between all opal and diamond prong settings; pat dry completely. Store separately in a soft pouch away from harder stones. Annual inspection recommended — verify all opal and diamond prong settings and clasp function at each inspection.
