A shifting glow
A pear-cut opal with lab diamond accents
A pear-shaped brilliant opal of about 1.07 carats, set with lab diamonds.
Veil holds a pear-shaped brilliant opal of about 1.07 carats at the front of the pendant. The stone measures about 9 by 6 millimeters, and its play of color shifts as it moves, with soft flashes that change from one angle to the next.
Lab diamond embellishments sit around the opal and add clean points of light beside its shifting face. Each lab diamond is grown in a lab with the same chemistry as a mined diamond, so the setting stays bright while the opal keeps its own soft character at the center.
Opal is the October birthstone, which makes Veil a gentle gift for an October birthday. Its changing color suits everyday outfits in soft neutrals and pastels, and it looks lovely with a simple white or cream top.
Light and changing
A necklace that catches the light as you move
A 16 inch chain with a 2 inch extender and about 2.53 grams of metal.
The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, a length that sits at the collarbone and lets the opal sit in clear view. The extender lets you lower the pendant for a relaxed line or raise it for a neat, close look.
The metal weighs about 2.53 grams, a comfortable weight through a full day. Yellow gold vermeil adds a warm frame that suits the opal's soft warmth, while sterling silver keeps the setting bright and cool beside the changing color.
The meaning of hope
Opal is often associated with hope and creativity, the sense of optimism that helps a person look ahead with an open mind. Its shifting color has long been linked with imagination and with seeing many possibilities in one moment, so Veil suits anyone who likes to dream a little and keep a bright outlook. The meaning is yours to choose, and the necklace makes no promise of a particular result.
Some people give an opal necklace to mark an October birthday or to a friend who is creative and full of ideas. Others wear one as a reminder to keep looking forward when a day feels uncertain.
Choosing your finish
Yellow gold vermeil adds warmth that complements the soft tones of the opal, while sterling silver keeps the setting cool and bright, which lets the play of color stand out against lighter clothing.
Measure a necklace you already wear and check where the pendant sits on your neckline. The extender gives you a little more room, so you can try two positions and see which one shows the stone best.
Caring for the opal and finish
Opal is softer than many gemstones and can crack or lose its luster with sudden heat, drying, or knocks against hard surfaces. Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep, and keep it away from heat and harsh products.
After wear, wipe the piece with a soft dry cloth and store it in a separate pouch. Keeping it apart from other jewelry protects the opal, the lab diamonds and the finish, so the stone keeps its soft, changing glow.
Find your metal tone
Two finishes with the same opal necklace. Choose yellow gold vermeil for warmth or sterling silver for a cool, bright line.

Frequently asked questions
Is the opal natural?
Yes. Opal is a natural gemstone, and its play of color is different in every stone.
Are the lab diamonds natural?
No. Lab diamonds are grown in a lab rather than mined. They share the chemistry of mined diamonds.
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.
Can I adjust the length?
Yes. The chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, so the pendant can sit a little lower when you want more room.
Are the finishes solid gold?
No. The gold finish is 18kt yellow 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 creativity, and those meanings are 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, heat, lotion and chlorine can dull the opal and the vermeil finish.
How should I clean it?
Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh polishes and ultrasonic cleaners, which can damage the opal and the finish.
Why is it a birthstone necklace?
Opal is the October birthstone, and the pendant suits anyone born that month. The stone is the same whatever the birth month.
