Iolite & Australian Opal Quirky Heart Pendant (Sterling Silver)

A fun funky Sterling Silver (.925) pendant, featuring a VERY QUIRKY 8.1 ct solid Australian opal in a snug cup/claw setting - with decorative bobbles. 

The gemstone up top is a natural 5.5mm iolite, exhibiting a beautiful purple/blue colour. The large bail is solid 18K yellow gold (unstamped), with a glittery crimped texture. The pendant has a high polish finish and an adorable heart cutout in the metal to the rear. 

Opal measures: 13.6mm x 13mm x 5.9mm and has a very lustrous polish. There are a couple of interesting "pits" and grooves in the opal, which are a natural part of the opal. 

Pendant measures: 24.6 mm L x 18 mm W approximately, excluding both jump rings. 

Weight is decently chunky (will require your favourite sturdy chain)!

The 18K yellow gold bail has internal diameter of 7 mm and suits many style chains.

Total drop length of pendant from top of bail: 36.7mm

Photo #1 taken in a light box. Photos #2 - #4 were taken outside in dark areas, under a gloomy grey Melbourne sky. This opal is spectacular (trust me, it even glows in the shade)! 

Listing is for the pendant only (no chain). 

With love,
