Opal Pendants: A Timeless Symbol of Elegance and Mystery
Opal pendants are exquisite accessories that have long been revered for their beauty and sophistication. Iridescent, shimmering 'play of colour' showcases every hue of the rainbow (think brilliant flashes of vivid reds, blues, greens and more!) as opals catch the light. As a timeless symbol of elegance and mystery, this alluring colour dance is a mesmerising display that sets them apart from other single colour gemstones like sapphires, rubies and colourless diamonds. They are a standout choice for those seeking something extraordinary.
Their versatility is another reason for an opal pendant's enduring popularity. Whether it's a delicate opal solitaire set in fine quality gold or a more elaborate design featuring diamonds or other gemstones, there is a style of pendant to suit every occasion and elevate any outfit. So if you're looking to make a statement with your jewellery, pendants set with opal could become cherished treasures that you'll wear and admire forever.
The History and Symbolism of Opals
Opals have a rich history and are steeped in symbolism. The word 'opal' is derived from the Greek word 'opallos', which means 'to see a change in colour' - referring to an opal's stunning play-of-color, where vibrant flashes of red, green, blue, and other hues dance within the stone when it catches the light.
In ancient times, opals were believed to possess magical properties and were associated with good fortune and healing. The Romans believed that opals were a symbol of hope and purity, while the ancient Greeks believed that they bestowed the power of prophecy upon the wearer. Opals were highly sought after and revered throughout history, from ancient Egypt to the Middle Ages.
