Opal Small Necklace

Small opal beads that carry entire rainbows in miniature — at the collarbone, the color play is visible from across a room. Hand-strung with gold-filled wire and clasp. October's birthstone in a wearable, every-day format.

The Stone
Opal's play of color — called opalescence — happens when light diffracts through silica spheres arranged in a microscopic grid inside the stone. No two opals are alike; the color pattern is as unique as a fingerprint. Associated with inspiration, spontaneity, and heightened imagination, it's said to unlock creativity and help the wearer embrace the full range of their own potential.
