Our Favorite Opal Jewels

The mysterious beauty of the opal is hard to beat. Its color plays and the broad range of uses by skilled artisans makes the stone a favorite of collectors. We have put together an assortment of our favorite opal pieces. Which one appeals to you the most?

Retro Art Deco Boulder Opal Pendant with Diamonds and Pearls 

It is fair to say that this pendant is a work of art. We believe that it is unique and dates back to the 1930s. The Art Deco style elements are clearly present. The focal gem is a round boulder opal with a brown matrix and blue as well as green colors. Along the top, you notice ten round blue and green opals with a combined weight of 1.50cts.

Jewelry makers augmented the great looks of this setup with 36 round half pearls. For sparkle, enjoy the 23 round diamonds with a collective weight of .60cts. All these stones fit perfectly with the color of a 14k rose gold setting. The pendant measures 38.28mm in width and 59.29mm in height. It hangs suspended from an 18-inch chain. If you only look at one opal jewel today, make it this one.

Crystal Opal Earrings in Yellow Gold with Diamonds 

The earrings’ design begins with 18k yellow gold settings. The crystal opals are natural Australian pieces featuring red, orange, blue and green flashes. These stones weigh a combined 5.50cts. Two rows of diamonds enhance the beauty of the gems. From side to side, the earrings measure 16.07mm. Their height is 18.34mm.

Designer Opal Pendant with Diamonds in a Gold Setting 

The 18k yellow gold setting holds a 10.80cts cushion-cut crystal opal. It features green, blue and orange flash displays. The stone’s translucency adds to the charm of the display. Jewelry makers added 31 full-cut diamonds with a combined weight of .61cts. They create an open halo effect around the stone. This piece is new old stock. The jewel dates to the 1980s and features a TAJ designer hallmark. The pendants’ measurements are 16.70mm in width and 33.11mm in height.

Blue Opal Necklace in White Gold 

If you adore Boho chic, you cannot go wrong with this necklace. The 14k white gold setting, which comes from the Peter Suchy Workshop, holds seven perfectly matched blue opals. The stones present with green and black flecks and originate in the American Southwest. Stone shapes are random, which adds to the visual appeal of the 18-inch necklace.
