Meet Selma,

An 18k Gold Lightning Ridge Opal Necklace Unlike Any Other

Not every opal is made to steal the spotlight—some demand a second glance before they reveal their secret. This 18k gold Lightning Ridge opal pendant is one of those rare pieces. Straight-on, the opal holds a quiet, moody presence. But tilt it just right in sunlight, and a ridge of intensely vibrant blues and greens rolls across the stone like waves breaking at dawn.

Cut freeform to preserve its natural character, this semi-black, semi-crystal opal carries a subtle translucency, adding depth to its shifting colors. Its brightest flashes emerge when viewed from above, as light catches the raised ridge left by the cutter—a reminder that some beauty is meant to be discovered. Designed in Japan, a country known for its refined artistry, the handmade 18k gold setting frames the stone with understated elegance.

18” gold plated sterling silver box chain included.
