A glowing, one-of-a-kind necklace featuring graduated opal rondelles and a handwoven mesh chain. With a lively play of color, these beautiful opals from Ethiopia's Wollo province make a timeless and absolutely stunning necklace, with vivid flashes of red, orange, green and blue.
We balanced the rondelles' gorgeous play of color with the rich buttery tones of woven 22k gold chain. The chain is hollow, making it sinuous and flexible and unexpectedly light. The end caps, accented with pink spinel, swivel - a design feature that reduces strain on the silk that the opals are knotted on..
The graduated rondelles and woven gold chain evoke the colors and shapes of Ancient Greece, but with a modern feel that would be perfectly at home with your favorite fitted tee, crisp button down, cashmere sweater or dress.
Length 32 inches.
Made with recycled 22k & 18k yellow, Ethiopian Welo opal (175ctw) and Burmese spinel (.15ctw). Knotted on custom dyed silk.
