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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLab 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"catalog-editorial catalog-editorial--detail\"\u003e\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/3778\/6177\/files\/mel-veil-opal-lab-diamond-necklace-03-b39c53e078.jpg?v=1791574478\" width=\"2048\" height=\"2048\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"An angled view shows the yellow gold prongs, open-sided opal setting and five clear stones along the bail.\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eVeil opal worn at the neck\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"catalog-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"catalog-kicker\"\u003eLight and changing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA necklace that catches the light as you move\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"catalog-lead\"\u003eA 16 inch chain with a 2 inch extender and about 2.53 grams of metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chain is 16 inches with a 2 inch extender, a length that sits at the collarbone and lets the opal sit in clear view.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"catalog-reading-grid\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"catalog-text\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe meaning of hope\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"catalog-text\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing your finish\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure a necklace you already wear and check where the pendant sits on your neckline.

Remove the necklace before swimming, showering, exercise and sleep, and keep it away from heat and harsh products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Modern Energy Lab","offers":[{"title":"18kt Yellow Gold Vermeil","offer_id":50639160737857,"sku":"MEL-T20-62660662559091","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"925 Sterling Silver","offer_id":50639160770625,"sku":"MEL-T20-62660662591859","price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/3778\/6177\/files\/mel-veil-opal-lab-diamond-necklace-01-5302ef6a88.jpg?v=1791574478","url":"https:\/\/modernenergylab.com\/products\/veil-opal-lab-diamond-necklace","provider":"Modern Energy Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
