Pendant in 925 Silver with Welo Opal and Black Spinel | Rocas & Cristales

Exclusivity & Design — Pendant with Welo Opal and Black Spinel: An author’s pendant of 28 x 6mm, worked in rhodium-plated 925 silver, where four oval polished cabochons of Welo opal are prong-set one below the other, ringed by faceted circular black spinel. A 45cm 925 silver chain completes the piece.

Aesthetic Details — Pendant with Welo Opal and Black Spinel: The vertical run of opal cabochons builds a continuous path of light down the pendant, while the black spinel framing each one adds a sober contrast that draws out the play of color inside every gem. The piece moves easily between daily wear and special occasions, carrying the polish of fine jewelry alongside the warmth of handwork. Each Rocas & Cristales piece is worked individually by our Córdoba silversmiths, so small natural variations in the stone only confirm its authenticity and its place as a genuine one-of-a-kind.

Craftsmanship & Shipping — Pendant with Welo Opal and Black Spinel: Handcrafted in Córdoba, Argentina, each piece is finished by hand in our own workshop and checked for quality before it leaves us. Every order ships complimentary, wherever in the world it is headed, with tracking provided from the moment it departs our studio door.

Natural Stone Properties — Pendant with Welo Opal and Black Spinel: Welo opal, hand-selected from Ethiopia, owes its shifting play of color to light refracting through microscopic internal silica spheres; Greek mythology linked the stone to Zeus’s tears of joy. Associated with the sacral chakra and with Capricorn, it is said to carry earthly joy and to deepen desire and sensuality. Black spinel, hand-selected from Thailand and tied to the root chakra and to Aries, Taurus, and Gemini, is said to lend courage, confidence, and an optimistic outlook. At Rocas & Cristales, each gem is chosen with care for its origin, color, and clarity, so every client receives a piece that is genuinely exclusive. We recommend keeping the pendant away from perfume, lotion, and cleaning products, storing it somewhere dry to preserve the silver’s shine and the stone’s brilliance over time.
