Australian Opal Doublet Gold Necklace - "Tidal Pool"

A miniature landscape of color, this one-of-a-kind Australian opal doublet is alive with shifting flashes of turquoise, ocean blue, and sea glass green. Its elongated, asymmetrical shape follows the natural character of the stone, making the opal the focal point of the necklace.

Designer Sara Freedenfeld of Amáli frames the stone in warm 18K yellow gold with a handwoven bezel that adds texture and a subtle sense of movement around the opal. The pendant rests horizontally on a delicate solid gold chain, keeping the design simple while letting the stone's shifting color take center stage.

A distinctive choice for anyone drawn to Australian opal jewelry, unusual gemstones, and finely crafted goldwork. As a doublet, the opal is made from layered material, giving this one-of-a-kind stone its own particular character and depth.

FAQ

Will the color I see on my screen match the necklace in person?
Opal is known for its shifting play of color, which can look a bit different depending on the angle and the light around it, and your monitor adds its own variation on top of that. Screen settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the necklace you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.

Is this a solid Australian opal?
No. The gemstone is an Australian opal doublet, which pairs a layer of opal with a supporting backing. 

Is the chain solid gold?
Yes. The pendant and delicate adjustable chain are crafted in solid 18K yellow gold.

How should I care for an opal?
Avoid prolonged water exposure, ultrasonic cleaning, steam, harsh chemicals, and sudden temperature changes. Store the necklace separately and ask us for guidance when professional cleaning is needed.
