A 14 karat gold plated sterling silver cable chain necklace featuring a 6.8mm bezel set synthetic blue opal fixed circle pendant. Finished with a lobster clasp, 16" + 2".

Synthetic blue opal is manufactured to replicate the play-of-colour phenomenon of natural black and dark blue opal — the shifting, spectral display of colours produced by the diffraction of light through a regular microstructure of silica spheres, presented here against a deep blue-to-black body colour rather than the milky white base of white opal. The dark body colour of blue opal changes the visual character of the play-of-colour significantly: against a dark ground, the spectral colours — greens, blues, reds, oranges, and violets — appear with greater contrast and intensity than the same phenomenon produces against a light base, which is why dark-bodied opals have historically commanded the highest valuations among collectors and dealers of natural opal. Synthetic blue opal replicates this dark-ground play-of-colour under controlled laboratory conditions, producing a material with consistent colour distribution and greater structural stability than natural dark opal. At 6.8mm in diameter, this opal circle is a miniature pendant: the total diameter of the stone is less than the width of a standard shirt button, placing the design in the register of minimalist jewelry where material and geometry produce the visual effect rather than scale. The circle — a closed curve at uniform distance from a centre point, with no beginning, no end, and no directional axis — is the most geometrically complete of pendant forms. The dark blue of the synthetic opal within the warm gold of the 14 karat gold plated bezel creates a tonal contrast between the cool, dark body of the stone and the warm metal of the setting that the white opal version of this pendant does not share.

A refined everyday pendant for minimalist jewelry lovers or anyone looking for a mini synthetic blue opal circle where the dark-ground play-of-colour of the synthetic blue opal creates a more dramatic iridescent effect than white opal, set in a 14 karat gold plated bezel on a fine cable chain.

✨ How to Wear

Wear alone as a refined minimalist everyday pendant or layer with fine chains and other pendants. The 16" + 2" extender allows the 6.8mm opal circle to sit at or below the collarbone. The 14K gold plated sterling silver pairs beautifully with gold and mixed-metal jewelry.
