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.

OPALS PHOTO DISCLAIMER:

- 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 can be fully appreciated only when seen in real life. Besides any slight change in the light angle causes complete change in the opal’s appearance and visible colors
- 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!

MATERIALS

I use only precious metals: 10k, 14k solid gold and 925 sterling silver. My favorite gemstone has always been Ethiopian Welo Opal, but now I also use moissanite to create my jewelry. Both fiery gemstones are very different but are satisfying to work with as they are capable of creating a flawless piece of beauty and perfection to be the result of my creative effort. I do not settle for mediocre or ordinary: my jewelry is made with RARE and UNIQUE gemstones. I personally test precious metals and gemstones for authenticity, and guarantee that all materials used in my jewelry are safe, hypoallergenic, authentic and are original designs - never something that was mass produced or made to resell. My jewelry is original and offers true value.

CREATING A CUSTOM PIECE

I have recently introduced an initiative that allows everyone to have a custom made version of any item listed in my shop by changing the center gemstone into ANY GEMSTONE THAT THEY WANT. You can choose from a wide selection of birthstones and choose from any setting in my shop to create your perfect gift and mix and match pieces for making gifts for friends or family members or anyone - the idea is that the jewelry can be purchased for an AFFORDABLE PRICE and be created for you within the same processing time as the item in the listing. All of the gemstones I get are SUSTAINABLY SOURCED and are produced by small businesses that are usually local and family owned, so the process is very transparent and straightforward. Give it a try!

MOISSANITE JEWELRY UPDATE

Now I am offering more moissanite jewelry than ever before due to the changes in the industry allowing me to purchase moissanite products that are CERTIFIED and come with a LIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY. The quality of the moissanite gemstones is INCREDIBLE, and the colors are absolutely stunning, so I have been working on my solid gold Bridal and Engagement Jewelry Collection featuring new and unique designs created with moissanite and natural opal in the same elegant style that I have always been offering to my customers: I adore dainty jewelry and I design with an open heart for everyone in mind, so my pieces are perfectly versatile and fit nearly any occasion. My craftsmanship and the gemstone quality is known for its highest standards.
