Five bright Australian opalized seashells* with a blue green flashfire are cut into triangle pear shapes and set in the center of this sterling silver necklace.  The quintuple opal centerpiece is approximately 1 1/2 inches (4 cm) long by 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) tall. Each opal was handcut by local artisan, Bruce London and is backed with a black epoxy.  The necklace overall is approximately 18.5 inches long with a 1.5 mm cable chain and spring ring clasp.

Caring for the Opals:  Avoid exposing the opal to sharp temperature changes and be sure to remove opal jewelry before bathing or swimming.  When storing your opals, avoid low humidity environments like safety deposit boxes as this will potentially cause your opals to dry out and crack.

*What are opalized seashells?  Essentially they are ancient shells that as they turned to fossils while buried in the sand, their environment transformed them into opals.  Over 100 million years ago, the Eromanga Sea covered much of inland Australia.  Many fossils are found in these ancient beds today, including opalized seashells.
