I pendant of precious opal

This 60 x 31 mm pendant, crafted in 925 sterling silver, features a 17 x 10 mm precious opal set in a silver box that cradles the stone at its edges. The unique, distinctive design, with its prominent curves, perfectly highlights the rarity of this exceptional opal. The stone is a polished cabochon, triangular in shape. The opal's inherent brilliance and the design combine to create a truly unique and one-of-a-kind piece.

Within the opal group, we distinguish between opalescent noble opals, red-yellow fire opals, and common opals. Their properties vary considerably. Opal forms secondarily as a result of the solidification of silicon dioxide gel through dehydration. From silicon dioxide in the form of gel droplets, microspheres of silicon dioxide (20% water and gas) are formed. The play of color in opal is due to the phenomenon of light refraction in the cristobalite microspheres.

In Greek mythology, she was said to have sprung from the tears of Zeus's joy after his victory over the Titans. In India, she is the goddess of the rainbow, solidified into stone when she fled from the troublesome gods.
