Genuine fire opal cabochon necklace made with a unique bail and the best large black opal cabochon measuring 10x8mm or 11x9mm in AAA+/AAAA quality grade.
This listing was originally created for this as a unique piece, but I decided to list again to see if there is an appeal to this design. is for the opal pictured which is given as an example, but you can suggest your own choice of a gemstone, a bead or something else you think will look good.
The Black opal is natural, earth mined, solid, colors non enhanced and with very large range of colors throughout and great looking fire with plenty of red , which is a value enhancing color for any black opal.
The setting is solid 925 sterling silver with rhodium plated finish and some oxidation to create this unique aged look with the Victorian inspired design of the necklace. The chain is also 925 sterling silver plated with white gold/rhodium (most likely as I am moving towards rhodium plated chains and settings, but I still have some “naked” sterling silver pieces, so if you prefer rhodium only you can leave me a message, so I will not use any non rhodium silver).
The fire is excellent with a lot of shades of rainbow being visible over the dark base tone. As any other black opal, it shows its beauty much better under more intense lighting or under direct light source - with the black opals subtle discovery of the depth of each stone’s unique personality takes time to appear in full glory during movement: stationary colors are not all there is to see and appreciate.
Not everything is right there on the surface - the new layers of color in your opal will continue to surprise you as you wear it in different environments offering different light setting.
You can find more information on this subject in my blog articles and in the opal photography section that explains why opals never look the same:)

CARE TIPS FOR THE JEWELRY I MAKE: https://www.kissedbyfirejewelry.com/post/126677434969/opal-jewelry-care-instructions
Opal jewelry is EXTREMELY FRAGILE and cannot come in touch with any liquid including water.
Please make sure you DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR OPAL JEWELRY TO WATER!
- Do not wash hands, take shower, do strenuous activity, run errands, clean the house or exercise with opals still on.
- Take off before bed and clean and buff the metal parts regularly to avoid using chemical cleaners.
- Micro paved Jewelry cannot be placed into an ultrasonic Jewelry cleaner due to the shaking, which might cause the tiny stones to fall out.
-Jewelry damaged due to not following the care instructions IS A FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER AND CANNOT BE RETURNED, EXCHANGED OR REIMBURSED.
-“care tips” card is provided with your order.
UNDERSTANDING NATURAL OPAL AND LEVELING YOUR EXPECTATIONS: https://www.kissedbyfirejewelry.com/post/900279778388/understanding-natural-opal-must-read
- YOUR JEWELRY WILL AND SHOULD LOOK DIFFERENT FROM THE LISTING PHOTOS EVEN IF THE PHOTOS ARE TAKEN OF THE ACTUAL OPAL
- The truth about this gemstone is that its uniqueness, its ever changing play of color, its brilliance, color intensity or fire pattern cannot be captured on a still image. A natural fire opal can look green on one photograph and red on the other with every subtle change in light angle or its intensity.
- There is a SIGNIFICANT amount of attenuation present when you look at an opal under natural daylight compared to its artificially exaggerated brilliance seen under the artificial indoor light;
- it is NORMAL for opals to change their appearance, so please keep this in mind that even the same opal NEVER LOOKS THE SAME!
