Shifting color
A pear of opal on a light chain
A pear-shaped opal whose color moves with the light, set at the neckline.
Open Heart places a pear-shaped opal at the front of a light chain. Opal shows a play of color, soft flashes of blue, green and gold that shift as the light and the angle change. The pear shape draws the eye along the stone and keeps the pendant focused, so the color seems to unfold as you move.
The opal is about 9 by 6 millimeters and weighs about 0.87 carats. The setting holds the stone securely and lets its color show clearly, while the chain keeps the whole piece delicate and easy to wear with everyday clothes. The setting keeps the pendant balanced, so the opal sits upright and shows its color evenly from the front.
A brighter view
A line that sits gently at the neck
A 16 inch chain with a 2 inch extender for a soft, open neckline.
The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, a classic length that sits at the collarbone. The extender lets you lower the pendant when you want more room or a longer line, so the necklace can suit different necklines through the year.
Yellow gold plating warms the opal and gives the pendant a soft, golden frame. White rhodium plating keeps the look cool and clean, letting the color of the opal lead. Both finishes sit well with a plain top, a shirt collar or a simple knit.
The meaning of hope
Opal is often linked with hope, positivity and gratitude, a reminder to notice the light that is still present even on harder days. Open Heart is a gentle sign of looking forward with an open heart. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people wear an opal necklace at the start of a new chapter or after a difficult season. Others choose one as a gift that feels bright, warm and full of possibility. Many people give an opal piece on a day that marks a new start, because its color feels like a bright promise.
Choosing your length
The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender. Measure a necklace you already wear and check where the pendant falls before you decide.
A shorter position keeps the opal close to the collarbone, while the extender lets it sit lower on the chest. Try both in a mirror before you order.
Caring for the opal and plating
Opal can be sensitive to heat, sudden temperature changes and chemicals. Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep, and keep it away from hot surfaces and perfume.
After wear, wipe the piece with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate, soft pouch. Keep it apart from harder jewelry so the opal and the plating stay protected.
Find your metal tone
Two plated finishes with the same pear-shaped opal. Choose yellow gold for warmth or white rhodium for a cool, clean line.

Frequently asked questions
Is the opal natural?
Yes. Opal is a natural stone, and its play of color shifts with the light, so each pendant looks a little different.
Is the gold option solid gold?
No. The finishes are 18kt yellow gold plating and white rhodium plating. Both are thin layers over the base metal.
Can I adjust the length?
Yes. The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, so you can wear it slightly longer for layering.
Is this necklace in stock now?
It is a pre-order piece. It is made after you order, so it ships later than in-stock pieces. Check the delivery estimate shown at checkout.
Is it an October birthstone piece?
Yes. Opal is the October birthstone, so it is a thoughtful choice for an October birthday or a gift of hope.
Does the necklace promise any effect?
No. Opal is often linked with hope, positivity and gratitude, and those are meanings you can 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. Opal can be sensitive to water and sudden changes, and chlorine can wear the plating.
How should I clean it?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam and harsh polishes, which can damage the opal and the plating.
