Rough Opal with Diopside, Peridot and Ruby Pendant

This piece features a rough chunk of Ethiopian opal. It's suspended by gold filled wire with a faceted texture. The wire swirls about genuine, untreated rubies and briolettes of chrome diopside and peridot. The pendant measures 15mm in width and 30mm in length, which includes the gold bail. The pendant slides around a gold filled, satellite chain with accents of more ruby at the ends of the chain near the clasp and extension chain. The chain length is 16 3/4" adjustable up to 18 3/4". 

Please note, extra care is required for this necklace due to the opals. You want to avoid getting the opals wet and putting into any liquid, chemical cleaner. Also, store it in a cool, dry place. Opals have a high water content. They can absorb impurities in the air that can affect their color.
