Australian opal pendants, each a one-of-one: solid natural opal from our own country’s fields — Queensland boulder opal on ironstone, crystal and black opal — set as pendants and worn on a chain as an everyday opal necklace. Opal is the October birthstone and the traditional gem of the 14th wedding anniversary, and no two stones ever share the same play-of-colour.
Every opal is 100% natural, earth-mined Australian stone, assessed by our FGAA-qualified gemmologist; we do not sell synthetic or man-made stones. An independent valuation certificate is available with any purchase for insurance purposes. To choose well, read our free Opal Buyer’s Handbook or the quick guide to opal types — or browse the wider pendants and necklaces range.
