Boulder Opal and Oregon Sunstone
Boulder Opal and Oregon Sunstone
Boulder Opal is mystifying in its array of color and organic appeal among opal varieties. Within that world, every color of the rainbow is subtly expressed along with earth tones in a shallow water coral reef-like presentation. A shimmering Oregon Sunstone warms up the scene and picks up the blush tones of the Opal with it’s copper schiller display. This ‘Sun and Sand’ sentiment is set in Sterling and Fine silver so you can wear this wonderful microcosm from your neck with pleasure.
The Boulder Opal came from Queensland, Australia in the rough and was cut and hand polished by Karen Britt. The Opal measures 17mm x 11mm and has a rolling, uneven face to accentuate its background and birth in the seam of the ironstone. The Oregon Sunstone was mined by Karen and Steve at the Spectrum Sunstone Mine. Karen polished the Sunstone to a 5mm cabochon that is set open backed so the light can shine through the gem. Both gems are set in Fine silver bezels and backing while the bail and clasp findings are Sterling Silver.
This gem was the star of its own short video:
The pendant is hung on a Greek Leather 3.5mm cord that is approximately 18” with a sterling silver hook and loop clasp. As with all of the pendants on the website, each one could pair with any of the chains you have at home. We like to send it off to you ready to wear and this presentation for wearing them also; it’s like the perfect black frame on a picture, goes with everything. Choosing the perfect chain for each individual is like attempting to choose the perfect haircut for them! You are welcome to hang this lovely pendant from any chain of your choice.
This piece was fabricated from scratch by Karen Britt. Each piece is a one of a kind piece of art, because no two stones are the same and the settings are created by hand, no two pieces are the same (even the earrings). It should be mentioned that all stones are used in their natural state; never dyed or heated to change their appearance. All the metals used are either recycled or fair, humane trade verified and all components used in the jewelry will return to the earth leaving no footprint. Thank you for enjoying the art.
