Monarch Opal and Carnelian Sailboat Sterling Silver Necklace

This truly one-of-a-kind necklace is for the sailor in your life! This handcrafted sailboat pendant contains two Monarch Opals and one faceted orange carnelian. The two Monarch Opals exhibit lovely flashes of green, orange, and blue.

Carnelian is in the chalcedony family. It is believed to bring energy and warmth to life, while also offering protection and stability. Carnelian is also associated with creativity, confidence, and overcoming creative obstacles.

Monarch Opal is a lab-created opal with vibrant play-of-color similar to that of natural opals. It is composed of approximately 80% silica and 20% resin and closely resembles the physical and optical properties of natural opals. Unlike many natural opals which can be fragile and susceptible to cracking or drying out over time, Monarch Opal is known for its durability and stability, making it suitable for various jewelry designs. They are also considered more sustainable as the production of Monarch Opals has less impact on the environment as compared to traditional opal mining. In addition, synthetic opals like Monarch Opal provide an alternative for those concerned about the socially ethical issues surrounding the sourcing of gemstones.

The pendant height is 1 5/8" and the width is 7/8" and it comes on a 20" sterling silver necklace.
