Opalite Large Shooting Star Necklace

This necklace was designed and handmade in our home studio just outside of Seattle, WA. Each necklace starts with a high quality gemstone to which a bail is added. A copper bezel is then electroformed around the stone to create a durable bond between metal and stone elements. The entire piece is then sent out to be further plated in rose gold at a thickness ten times the industry standard. This results in an heirloom quality piece that can be enjoyed for years to come with proper care. Opalite is a glass that mimics the appearance of opal, featuring a smooth, translucent surface with a pearlescent sheen. Known for its iridescent play of colors, it often displays soft hues of blue, white, and milky pink, depending on the angle of light.
