1.7 cts Black Opal Carving Drilled Pendant. Pendant- 0.3 g - (1)

Black opal is one of the most prized varieties of opal gemstones, known for its dark body tone that provides a dramatic backdrop for its vibrant play of colors, or "fire." Originating primarily from Australia, black opals display flashes of red, green, blue, and other hues, making each specimen unique. Carving an opal into a pendant involves careful craftsmanship to preserve these iridescent qualities while shaping the stone into a wearable form. The drilled pendant style means the opal has a hole for a chain or cord, allowing it to be worn as an elegant focal piece. Weighing approximately 1.7 carats and light in weight, such pendants are delicate accessories cherished for both their natural beauty and symbolic meaning, often associated with creativity and emotional expression.
