RAW OPAL GOLD "Y" Necklace (OCTOBER BIRTHSTONE)
Our October birthstone is OPAL, and once again we have some lovely gemstones to use in our earrings and necklaces! This is our first time offering Opals with some of our traditional designs and they look absolutely amazing!
"Opal" comes from the Sanskrit word upala, which means "precious stone." This comes from the stories from ancient India, which said the Mother Goddess changed the virgin Goddess of the Rainbow into a stone to save her from the amorous attentions of three gods. The word was adopted in Latin during Roman times as opalus. It is said that precious opal, with its display of fire, can spark creativity, and that the "dance" of its fire can help people enjoy their lives. The gemstone has been associated with the sacral chakra, imbalances of which can cause problems with addictions.
14K Gold Fill necklace is set at 16" with a 1" drop for the raw Opal.
Opal measures 1/2" tall x 1/8" wide ~3/16" wide at the bottom. Due to the varied nature of opals, the necklace you receive may differ slightly from the one pictured, but as we source our gemstones in batches, they tend to be pretty close to one another.
