Blue opal Sterling silver pendant

A shiny blue 4 mm Opal, suspended  between two Sterling silver rings  that Ive made.

This Opal is a Synthetic Opal (Polymer Impregnated Synthetic Opal) is composed by 80% silica & 20% resin. It takes about a year to grow in laboratory and the brilliance is grown layer by layer.

I think the colour makes up for the fact it’s not a natural opal. The  Sterling silver rings measure approximately 30 mm and 20 mm.  Definitely one of my favourite pieces.

The pendant is hung from either on a 16  or 18 inch Sterling silver chain.
