The three opals in this cluster are set to catch light from every direction. Each one flashes a different set of colours as you move, so the pendant never looks exactly the same twice. It's a subtle but constant flicker of light on your skin.
This is a delicate necklace built on a fine 14K gold cable chain. The focus is the pendant, a tight cluster of three round opals. They're arranged in a small triangle, with a polished gold bead at the centre and tiny gold prongs holding each stone. The opals are a milky white, but they flash with greens, blues, and pinks when they move in the light.
The entire necklace, from the chain to the setting, is made from 14 Karat solid gold. It's not plated or filled, which means the gold colour won't rub off or tarnish. 14K is 58.3% pure gold, and we use it because the alloys make it strong enough for a piece you'll wear often. The stones are natural opals, not lab-created. This means each one has its own unique pattern of fire, and we match them by hand for a cohesive look.

This is one of our most delicate necklaces. People choose it when they want something small for everyday wear that isn't just a plain chain. The opal cluster is tiny, but the play-of-colour gives it a lot of life, making it more noticeable than a simple metal pendant would be.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the opals in my Opal Trio Necklace crack or get damaged easily?
Opals are softer than stones like diamonds, so they do require a bit more care. We use natural opals and set them securely in 14K gold to protect them, but you should avoid hard impacts. It's a good idea to take the necklace off before any rough activity or heavy lifting.
Can I shower with my 14K gold Opal Trio Necklace?
Yes, you can shower with solid 14K gold, but we don't recommend it for this necklace. While the gold itself will be fine, repeated exposure to soaps, shampoos, and heat can dull the opals' shine over time and potentially weaken the settings. It's best to take it off first.
How does the Opal Trio Necklace sit on the collarbone?
The pendant on the Opal Trio Necklace is very lightweight, so it sits flat against the skin and doesn't tend to flip over. Depending on the chain length you choose, it's designed to rest either in the hollow of your throat or just on the collarbone. The fine chain helps keep it centred.
