Ember Opal Necklace

Description

Some gemstones sparkle.

This one glows.

Hidden within warm peach, ivory, and cinnamon-colored boulder is an explosion of impossible color—brilliant flashes of electric green, molten red, and fiery orange that seem to ignite the moment they catch the light. The contrast between the soft earth tones and the vivid opal fire makes this one of those rare stones that stops people mid-conversation.

Hand-fabricated in Argentium sterling silver with a tiny solid 14k yellow gold accent, the setting is designed to let the stone do exactly what it was born to do: steal the show. Suspended from a delicate stationed bead chain, it's lightweight, beautifully balanced, and comfortable enough to wear every day.

The Story

I spent hours hand-picking opals in the Arizona desert before finding this one.

Most boulder opals have flashes of color.

This one has fire.

Every time I turned it in the sunlight, another blaze of neon green or glowing red appeared from somewhere I hadn't noticed before. Even after bringing it home and setting it, I still catch myself tilting it back and forth just to watch it come alive.

The surrounding boulder is just as beautiful, with soft creams, peaches, and earthy patterns that make the vivid colors feel even more dramatic. Rather than covering it with an elaborate setting, I chose clean hand-fabricated silver and a single 14k yellow gold accent that quietly echoes the warmth already inside the stone.

No two opals are alike.

I've certainly never found another one quite like this.
