The opal and zirconium oxide pendant in rhodium-plated 925 silver showcases opal, a natural stone from Australia, where 95% of the world's opals are mined. Discovered in 1849, opal is renowned for its fascinating play of light, reminiscent of a rainbow. Its formation results from the accumulation of silica spheres in rock cavities, favored by Australia's desert climate. We select white opals, prized for their clarity and brilliance, and doublet opals, enhanced to intensify their color. Each opal in the opal and zirconium oxide pendant is cut en cabochon, revealing its unique multicolored reflections.
