Fire Opal Pendant

This 15x7 mm pendant is crafted from rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver. The central stone is a 6x4 mm fire opal with an intense orange hue. The opal's vibrant colors are due to the refraction of light within the cristobalite microspheres. The stone is surrounded by an oval frame, and a smaller circle sits atop it, both adorned with tiny, sparkling cubic zirconia. This is a unique, handcrafted design. The play of colors in opal is due to the refraction of light within the cristobalite microspheres.
