The centrepiece is an arc of five bezel-set stones and a fan of three opals. The curve is designed to follow your collarbone, so the whole cluster lays flat against your skin instead of flipping over or getting lost under a shirt.
A fine, 14-karat gold cable chain holds a curved centrepiece. Five round cubic zirconia stones are set in smooth, circular bezels, forming an arc. Tucked underneath are three marquise-cut opals, held by tiny prongs at their tips. The centre opal is set vertically, while the two on the sides angle outwards, creating a small, symmetrical fan. The gold has a bright, polished finish.
We make this necklace from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. It's an alloy made of 58.3% pure gold, which means it has a deep, warm colour and is strong enough for daily wear without bending. It also means it won't tarnish or turn your skin green. The opals are natural gemstones, so each one has its own unique pattern of iridescence. The round stones are high-grade cubic zirconia, chosen for their clarity and how they reflect light.

Most cluster necklaces have some bulk to them. This one is different because the entire centrepiece is designed to be low-profile and curved. It sits right in the hollow of your throat or along the collarbone and doesn't get lost under a shirt collar. It's a good first layer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the opals in the Opal Starlight Necklace get damaged from everyday wear?
Opals are softer than diamonds, so they do require some care. We set them with protective prongs, but it's best to avoid hard knocks or scraping them against rough surfaces. Taking the necklace off before a workout or any heavy lifting is a good way to keep them safe.
Is it safe to shower while wearing my 14K gold Opal Starlight Necklace?
Yes, you can shower in your solid 14K gold necklace. Water won't harm the gold, but soaps and shampoos can leave a film on the opals and cubic zirconia, dulling their shine over time. We recommend taking it off before you shower to keep the stones looking their best.
How can I figure out where the Opal Starlight Necklace will sit on my collarbone?
Our chains come in standard lengths. To see where the cluster will land on you, take a piece of string, cut it to the necklace's length, and drape it around your neck. The curved pendant is designed to rest in the hollow of the throat or just along the collarbone.
