OPAL PENDANTS

Modern day opal pendants are designed to show the opal as the focal stone and might have just few diamonds on the sides to compliment the opal.

Traditional designs that are still popular from cluster settings of several opals in one pendant to Princess Diamond design which has a focal opal with Diamonds around them.

Cluster design opal pendants are popular with a centre diamond

Sterling silver Pendants today are mostly Doublet or triplet opal and solid opals are mostly white fire opal or crystal opal.

Opal pendants are mostly claw set with few hand bezel set.

Bezel set suits freeform boulder opal or crystal opal from Australia or Brazil  opal.

Boulder opal necklaces are popular with younger generation under 30 who now prefer boulder opal with hole drilled through and worn on leather necklace.

Silver inlayed pendants are also popular with this  age group .

No matter what age group the advantage with opal is the colour range and how different colours appeal to the opal buyers a swell as the pendant design

The choice is matter of taste .

Boulder opal is ideal to make hand made boulder pendants as boulder opal is freeform and jeweller can make hand made bezel set pendant to hold opal firmly in place and bezel edge does protect the boulder opal. Some boulder opal pendants do have claw sets and this is suitable for boulder opal that is slightly cabochon or rounded edges. Boulder opals with straight edges are not suitable for claw settings and should always be bezel set

Opal Inlay Pendants and earrings  is popular The inlay opal is solid crystal opals form lightning ridge or Coober Pedy and they are shaped to fit insert and bottom of the pendant or earring  setting is dyed black and this helps to enhance the opal colour so the opal colours is brighter .

Crystal opals that are thicker make ideal crystal opal pendants and earrings  and clear blue crystal opals are popular.

Triplet and doublet opals are mostly claw set and display strong fire opal colours .care should be taken not to get the triplet or doublet opal  wet when  showering as it can effect the colour.

Triplet opals have man made top and bottom with slice natural opal in between and doublet opal had slice set on ironstone base so both display strong fire colours in pendant and it is easy to find matching pendant and earrings colours with triplets or doublets..

Diamonds are personal choice as some buyers prefer to have few to a spread of diamonds and many buyers prefer just opals with no diamonds.

If opal pendant has no diamonds they can be added if a buyer requests.

A Solitaire diamond is easy to add to an opal pendant but not channel set rows of diamonds.Diamionds can easily be added to bale of the pendant and does compliment the opal design.
