Meet Kaira,

A Late-1800's Pendant Reimagined With A Natural Koroit Boulder Opal

Originally a brooch set with a badly damaged emerald, the pin was removed and a bail was added to this hefty piece of 18 karat yellow gold, turning it into a more functioning pendant.  We then hand-cut a natural boulder opal stone from Koroit, Australia to replace the emerald; the piece now has an entirely new life of its own!  A bright "eye" in the stone plays vivid blue and green colors.  Original, hand-cleaved diamond chips surround the opal.  Chain not included.
