A little piece of ancient wood, transformed into something extraordinary. This Australian wood replacement opal shimmers with pink, blue, and green, with touches of red and orange. Visible bits of wood remain within its face, adding earthy character to its colorful glow.
I set it in 14k gold with a fine silver back and paired it with a sterling silver paper clip chain. A tiny ruby, suspended from a handmade 14k gold headpin, adds a sweet finishing touch. The silver is heavily oxidized, bringing out the warmth of the gold.
The opal in its setting measures approximately 14 × 13 mm. The necklace measures 18 inches long.
