Opal Ruby Diopside Gold Necklace

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. The pendant measures 8mm x 10mm and has a length of 26mm, 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.

It is known as the “Crystal of Joy,” allowing for the amplification of emotional energy. It will help shield against negativity and facilitate emotional balance.
