Peruvian Opal Pendant, Sterling Silver, Blue Green Kinetic Necklace, Three Stone Boulder Opal, Statement Jewelry

This boulder opal pendant builds from concentrated to complex. The top stone is small and deeply saturated, a dense teal-blue that holds its color without variation. The middle stone is the largest of the three and the most internally active, blue-green with visible movement beneath the surface, the color shifting as the pendant catches light. The bottom stone pulls warmest and greenest of the three, a teal that leans toward the green end of the range. Three cabochons from the same material, each one a different argument for what Peruvian opal can be.

Each cabochon sits in a sterling silver bezel set into a textured oval backing with a dark patina, with silver spheres scattered across the surface in an organic arrangement that varies from stone to stone. The three sections link together through small rings, the whole composition suspended from a simple flat bail. At just under 3 inches long the pendant has presence without weight, and wears as well layered as it does alone.

Hallmarked Blue Piranha and .925. The pendant measures just under 3 inches (7.6 cm) long from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant, and ¾ inch (1.7 cm) wide. Weight is 10.4 grams. 

Each pendant is available without a chain, so you may use your own if you prefer. If you want to add a chain, I offer different lengths and styles. Every chain comes with a 2-inch extender so you can vary the length. Please choose your chain from the options at checkout.

Your purchase arrives gift boxed, presented in a soft pouch with a story card.

Good for: The person who's never second-guessed a color choice. The collector who measures a piece by the quality of the conversation it starts. Self-purchase for the woman who picks the piece that gives her something new to notice every time she wears it.

About Peruvian Opal: 

Peruvian opal is found in the Andes Mountains of Peru, one of the few sources in the world producing opal in this particular blue-green range. Its color runs from bright teal to soft aqua-green, and the stone can be fully opaque or lightly translucent depending on the specimen. When the opal remains in its host rock matrix rather than being extracted from it, the finished stone carries the warm brown of the surrounding material alongside the blue-green, producing the kind of color contrast and pattern variation that solid-color opal can't replicate. Peruvian opal is not a fire opal and does not display the spectral flash associated with Australian varieties — its appeal is in its color, its translucency, and the relationship between the opal and its matrix.
