Most lariat necklaces are just a single sliding chain. This one anchors the drop with a small cluster of three marquise-cut opals, so the piece sits higher and more centred on the collarbone before it falls.
A delicate 14k gold cable chain meets at a central cluster of three marquise-cut opals. The largest opal sits vertically in the middle, flanked by two smaller ones. A second, shorter chain drops down from this cluster, ending in a small, round cubic zirconia held fast by three prongs. Everything is polished to a high shine, so the chain and settings catch the light along with the stones.
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 tough enough for daily wear and won't cause nickel allergies or turn your skin green. The opals are genuine, showing flashes of colour as they move. The stone at the bottom of the drop is a cubic zirconia, which gives you the sparkle of a diamond without the worry. The whole thing is built to last.

It's a different take on the lariat necklace. The three-opal cluster acts as a fixed centrepiece, so unlike other Y-necklaces, it won't slide around or pull to one side. It stays put right where you want it, with the drop always hanging straight down.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the opals in my Opal Drop Necklace crack or lose their colour?
Your opals are quite durable for everyday wear in a necklace. They are a softer stone, so you'll want to avoid hard knocks. Opals contain water, so they are sensitive to sudden, extreme temperature changes. To clean them, just use a soft, damp cloth.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14k gold Opal Drop Necklace on?
We recommend taking it off before you shower or sleep. While 14k solid gold is waterproof, soaps and shampoos can build up and dull the opals' fire over time. Sleeping with a fine chain can also cause it to tangle, snag, or break.
How long is the drop on the Opal Drop Necklace and where will it sit on my chest?
The necklace is designed so the opal cluster rests at the base of your throat, right in the hollow of your collarbones. The drop itself is a fixed length that will fall a few inches from that point, landing in the centre of your chest.
