A soft play of colour
A pear-shaped opal with white zircon on a fine chain
A pear-shaped opal of about 9 by 6 millimeters with white zircon embellishments, on a 16-inch chain with a 2-inch extender.
Mist holds a pear-shaped opal of about 9 by 6 millimeters at the centre of the pendant. The opal shows a soft play of colour that shifts as the light moves, so each glimpse of the stone looks a little different.
White zircon embellishments sit beside the opal, adding small, clear points of light that frame its shifting tones. Together the stones weigh about 1.07 carats in total, and the pendant has a delicate presence at the neck.
Mist is finished in 18kt yellow gold vermeil or in 925 sterling silver. It suits a quiet day, an October birthday or a gentle gift, and it sits well with soft knits, linen and pale neutral clothing.
Light and delicate
A light chain that keeps the opal in view
About 2.53 grams of metal in a light chain and pendant, on a 16-inch chain with a 2-inch extender.
The necklace weighs about 2.53 grams of metal, so it wears lightly. The pendant lies at the centre of the chest, and the opal stays in view as you move.
The chain is 16 inches with a 2-inch extender, so you can set the length for a crew neck or a scarf. Yellow gold vermeil adds a warm frame to the opal, and sterling silver gives its colours a cool, clean backdrop.
The meaning of hope
Opal is often associated with hope, the steady sense that good things can still come, even on a hard day. Its shifting colour is a gentle image of that outlook, so Mist suits anyone who likes a piece that feels light and forward-looking. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people give an October birthstone necklace to a friend who is going through a difficult season. Others wear one as a quiet reminder to keep looking ahead.
Choosing your finish
Yellow gold vermeil adds a warm frame that complements the opal's soft tones. Sterling silver is cool and clean, and it lets the play of colour in the stone stand out.
Choose the finish that sits best with your other jewelry, and check the chain length before you order. The 16-inch chain with a 2-inch extender adjusts to most necklines.
Caring for the opal and finish
Opal is softer than many gemstones, so it can scratch or crack if it knocks against hard surfaces. Keep it away from heat, and do not let it dry out in a hot place. Remove the necklace before cleaning, gardening, swimming, exercise, showering and sleep.
After wear, wipe the necklace with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate pouch, away from harder jewelry. This protects the opal, the white zircon and the finish.
Find your metal tone
Two finishes for the same opal necklace. Choose yellow gold vermeil for warmth, or sterling silver for a cool line that lets the opal's play of colour stand out.
Sterling silver
Cool 925 sterling silver that lets the opal's play of colour and the white zircon stand out clearly.

Frequently asked questions
Is the opal natural?
Yes. Opal is a natural gemstone, and its play of colour differs from stone to stone, so your opal will be unique.
Is the white zircon natural?
Yes. White zircon is a natural mineral used here as a clear accent. It is not the same as cubic zirconia.
Is this an October birthstone necklace?
Yes. Opal is the traditional birthstone for October, and the necklace lists October as its birth month.
Is this necklace in stock now?
The necklace is sold as a standard item. Check the product page for the delivery estimate shown there before you order.
Are the finishes solid gold?
No. The gold finish is 18kt gold vermeil over sterling silver, a thin gold layer rather than solid gold.
Does the necklace promise any effect?
No. Opal is often associated with hope, and that meaning is yours to choose. The necklace makes no promise of a particular outcome.
Can I wear it in the shower or pool?
Please remove it before swimming, showering or exercise. Water, lotion and chlorine can dull the opal's surface and the vermeil.
How should I clean it?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes, heat and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the opal and the finish.
