Welo Opal Pendant

This 55 x 26 mm pendant is crafted from high-purity 950 silver and features two large opals, one 18 x 7 mm and the other 16 x 11 mm, prong-set in a teardrop-shaped structure. The pendant's design resembles a scarab beetle, with the teardrop opal forming the head and the elongated oval opal the body. These beautiful stones display a range of green, reddish, and blue hues thanks to their opalescence.

The play of colors in opal is due to the refraction of light within the cristobalite microspheres. In Greek mythology, it was said to have originated from the tears of Zeus's good fortune after his victory over the Titans. In India, it is the goddess of the rainbow, solidified into stone when she fled from the troublesome gods.
