The three opals are set tip-to-tip, creating a small triangle of open space in the centre. It's a light and airy design that plays with negative space, which you don't often see in a small pendant. It makes the whole piece feel very delicate.
Three marquise-cut opals form a small triangular cluster. Each stone is held by four gold prongs, two on each pointed end. They're arranged in a pinwheel pattern, with that triangle of open space at the centre. The opals themselves are a milky white with visible flashes of green and pink. The pendant is fixed to a fine, gold cable chain that reflects light from its small, oval links.
We make this necklace from solid 14 Karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s 58.3% pure gold mixed with alloys for strength, which means it’s durable enough for a fine chain and won’t bend or break with normal wear. Solid gold also won't tarnish or turn your skin funny colours. The stones are natural opals, so each one will have its own unique play-of-colour. We've set them securely with prongs to protect their edges.
- Material: Solid 14K Gold, Natural Opal

- Pendant: Three marquise-cut opals in a triangular cluster

Most small pendants are just a single stone. This one uses three opals to create a more complex shape without adding much size or weight. It’s a way to get a bit more visual interest right at the collarbone, and the opals catch the light differently than a simple faceted gem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the opals in my Opal Triangle Necklace look exactly like the ones in the photo?
No, the opals in your necklace won't look exactly like the photo. Because we use natural opals, each stone has a unique pattern of colour and fire. Your necklace will have its own distinct character, but it will be made with opals of the same quality and size shown.
Can I wear my 14K gold and opal necklace in the shower?
It's best to remove your opal necklace before showering or swimming. While the 14K gold can handle water, opals are porous and can be damaged by prolonged exposure to moisture, soaps, and chemicals like chlorine. This helps preserve the stone's integrity and play-of-colour over time.
How will the Opal Triangle Necklace sit on my neck?
The Opal Triangle Necklace is designed with a fine chain that typically lets the pendant rest right at the collarbone, depending on the specific chain length. Its small, fixed-pendant design means it won't flip over easily and will tend to lay flat against your skin.
