Silver Mintabie solid Opal necklace
Silver Mintabie solid Opal necklace
Low stock: 1 left
Solid opal pendant from Andamooka in South Australia.
Opal is 1ct, gold/orange, greens.
Every piece of my jewellery is unique - no one else will be wearing this necklace, it's one of a kind like all of my pieces.
I source and cut all my own opals, mostly from Australia. So I can guarantee that all my opals are natural, I don't use lab made or artificial opals.
I only give carat weight for solid opals - I disagree with people giving weights for doublets as it's likely >60% of the opal is NOT precious opal!
Even more so for triplets - it's likely <5% is opal!
Pricing on all items is reflected in the quality of the opal - I try to make sure all opal I use in my jewellery is good quality, the better the play of colour, brightness, types of colour present all affect the pricing of the opal itself.
I try to describe the colours in the stone as best as I can, sometimes it not easy!!
Pictures are all taken on a Panasonic tz15 camera and are not altered or photo-shopped in any way.
I make all my own settings for my jewellery.
Every piece of jewellery you find here is unique - it's all handmade by myself.
Feel free to ask for a video of any items if you are interested opals are not easy to picture with any accuracy, video is always better!

FAQs
FAQs
The hardness of opals is less than many other gemstones, it’s approximately the same as glass, however certain types of opal may be more fragile than others. If it’s a good quality stone in the first place and you take care of it there shouldn’t be any problem – I’ve seen opals set in jewellery that still look good after 40 years use. It is always a good idea to remove your opal jewellery if there is a chance it may be exposed to being scratched or broken (i.e. manual tasks such as working in the garden, decorating, on the beach etc.)
How do you measure opal weight and quality?
I can make a piece to that design using a similar opal, however each opal is usually completely unique so cannot be exactly matched.
I can rent out the jewellery – very useful if you have a special occasion such as a wedding to go to. If you really like the piece and want to keep it, we can arrange purchase less a proportion of the rental cost.
How do I keep the opal jewellery clean?
