As the water retreats, a quiet wonder reveals itself in this Australian Opal Pendant , and a rare boulder opal is left behind in its wake. Sourced from our cutter on our travels to Australia, the idiosyncratic character of the picture stone and its dark body tone serve as a canvas for the enigmatic play-of-color — flickering pink and green that mirror the bioluminescence of a hidden tide pool. This unique opal necklace captures the magic of discovery that low tide affords; that fleeting moment when the world stills, and the earth’s most intimate details are laid bare.  

The setting is a poetic study in contrast and mixed metal jewelry, featuring a textured stack of beach rocks - hand-sculpted in sterling silver - that sit atop the opal in its refined rose gold bezel setting. This one-of-a-kind piece is a signature NIXIN reimagining of nature's rugged elegance blended with the soul of handmade jewelry. Designed for the dreamer and the collector alike, this jewelry art is a storied testament to the beauty found in the subtleties of the shore. On the back of the luxury pendant, a secret inscription awaits - a message intended exclusively for its owner.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Caring For Your Jewelry:
Fine jewelry is delicate and should be treated with care. Avoiding any chemical exposures (ie: chlorine, lotion, etc…) and removing your jewelry during rigorous activity (ie: exercise or gardening) or at times of potential impact is advised. Please contact us at hello@nixinjewelry.com for assistance if your stone is loose or your setting is catching.

• Cleaning Your Jewelry:
Soft and or porous stones such as (solid) Opals, Turquoise, or even Pearls, can be cleaned with a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water. Diamonds are harder, but not impervious to damage — the care instructions above are safe to apply. Unless specifically recommended by us, we advise against the use of chemical cleaners on your NIXIN Jewelry. Avoid ultrasonic devices with soft and porous gemstones as well as pave. Have your jewelry professionally cleaned as needed.

• Opal Jewelry Cleaner:
We do offer a gentle cleaning agent on-site that is safe to use on most jewelry (including Opals), though we always recommend testing a small area prior to doing a full cleaning. We offer a bottle version of our foaming NIXIN Jewelry Cleaner to handle your jewelry cleaning at home and a Jewelry Cleaning Pen you can fit in your purse and take with you wherever you go.
