Opal Pendants

Every opal pendant here is handcrafted by Richard Lewis around a single natural opal, so each one is different. Most are Australian opals from Coober Pedy, Lambina and Andamooka, with the play-of-color those fields are known for, along with a few bright Ethiopian opals. They run from around two carats up past six, in pear, freeform, oval and drop shapes, set in 14K yellow gold. Many have a diamond accent or a small diamond bezel, and some hang from white-gold bails for a two-tone look.

More about Opal Pendants

Opal is a soft stone, so wear it gently and keep it away from hard knocks and ultrasonic cleaners. Because each opal is one of a kind, the pendant you see is the one you’ll receive.

A larger opal shows its color beautifully in a pendant. If you are weighing one up, it helps to read what makes an opal valuable and how to care for opal jewelry. Opal is also the October birthstone. For a specific stone or setting, Richard takes custom commissions.
