Natural Opal Play Color Phenomenon 925 Sterling Silver Pendant with Ethiopian Welo Opal - Height: 26 mm - Width: 12.7 mm- 4 g

A jewel that seems to contain the light of dawn and the colors of the rainbow: this 925 silver pendant houses a Welo Ethiopian opal, an oval cabochon measuring 15 × 11 mm, whose milky surface comes alive under every ray of light. Green, orange, red, and blue chase each other like small flames trapped within the stone, creating a hypnotic effect that makes each piece unique. Ethiopian opals, discovered only in 2008 on the volcanic highlands of the Welo region, revolutionized the world of gemology. Their internal structure is made up of perfectly ordered microspheres of silica that diffract light, generating the famous play-of-color, the optical phenomenon that gives opals their timeless charm. Unlike many other varieties, Welo opals are appreciated for their greater stability and crystal-clear transparency, features that quickly made them stars in the world of natural stone jewelry. In ancient times, opal was considered 'the queen of gems,' capable of embodying the strength of ruby, the hope of emerald, and the depth of amethyst. Even today, it is associated with creativity, spontaneity, and the capacity for renewal, making it a talisman of inner transformation. The understated and luminous silver setting enhances the opal without detracting from its magic, allowing the stone to be the absolute protagonist. Wearing an Ethiopian opal pendant means carrying with you not only a refined and natural jewel but also a fragment of legend, science, and eternal light.
