At the heart of this Australian Opal Pendant lies an emerald-green leaf, its delicate veining pressed against a rich, chocolate ironstone backdrop. Set in 14k gold, the boulder opal necklace evokes the resilient spirit of a scarred landscape reclaiming its beauty; trace flecks of cobalt blue and fiery red dance through the verdant play of color like hidden sparks of memory. Blooming with symbolic grace, three crimson rubies bud from golden pods - one slides along a vine on the chain, its color visible from either side of the reversible pendant. These flowering poppies evoke the haunting beauty of new life rising from the shadows, honoring the silent strength of the ground beneath us. A tribute to the enduring power of life, this handmade jewelry is a legacy of beauty carved from the very soul of the earth.  

A magnificent piece of jewelry art, this gold opal necklace explores the strength manifest to rise and flourish, even after the unimaginable. Secured by prongs of golden leaves, the facade of the boulder opal teases a stunning network of meticulously hand carved poppies woven across its back in various states of bloom. Three cleverly set rubies peek through crowning pods and a fully bloomed three dimensional flower reveals its shimmering black diamond stamen. A bypass leaf bail adds a final touch of botanical artistry, spiraling with effortless grace. 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.
