A rare quality grade natural black fire opal pendant necklace made with solid 925 sterling silver or 14k gold filled over sterling silver finish. The gold filled finish can be either rose or yellow gold and made with tarnish resistant technique.
This kind of opal is quite rare to find especially in larger 10x8mm size, and it is very special for its intense bright red fire (red is the rarest color in natural opal) that’s readily visible under almost any lighting conditions.
The opal’s stunning play of color is visible also thanks to its flawless professionally done cut which emphasizes its beauty and brings more of the vibrant reflections into view when facets are exposed to the precise angle of light.
This is a natural earth mined unaltered genuine black fire opal and its colors are purely the result of organically occurring processes - not manipulation by human hand to enhance the color.
The amount of red fire is really ideal, so it allows other colors to be visible as well ( usually purely red colored opals have only red and green fire on opposite sides) but as a dominant color it adds a stunning degree of vibrancy to the play of color.
With an opal that has so much red it is sometimes possible to confuse it for a garnet from the first look, which happens sometimes.
Also, you might want to consider buying a pair of matching earrings while I have them in stock or maybe even getting a matching ring with a similar unique red colored black fire opal.
The opals in this quality grade are not always readily available, but now I have extra stones because I took a year long break, so you can use this opportunity to get a special set made with matching black opals that truly impress.
I accept very flexible monthly payment plans, so you can just reserve your stones and pay as you go. I like to take my time working on the jewelry anyway, so it will give me a chance to perfect those details which make the pieces with the best craftsmanship I can possibly offer.

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.
- 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!
I use only high quality precious metals and natural gemstones in creating my jewelry. The quality standard for this shop is set to be especially high.
I use my best quality stones for creating items offered at this shop, so each and every item is not only made to order but is typically made with perfect or nearly perfect gemstones, with excellent time consuming level of craftsmanship seen in each unique design.
▪️I do not use stock photos for a reason: I design everything myself, and take my own photos of the items upon completion of the item so you can be sure that the jewelry sold through this store is going to look exactly as pictured with the exception of gemstones, which are all unique and will never look the same.

I purchased a top quality black opal necklace from Kissed By Fire Jewelry as a Christmas gift. The item arrived as promised...a VERY nice stone and necklace. Communication was excellent and the package arrived sooner than expected. I am delighted with the purchase and plan to be a repeat customer. ECW from Indiana

Julia was amazing! She went above and beyond and attempting to match an existing opal ring. She did not disappoint! My new wife had an amazing opal pendant to match her wedding ring and got compliments on both our whole wedding day. I’ll be recommending Julia to anyone looking for an opal or piece of unique jewelry.
