Barbara Heinrich Australian + Ethiopian Opal Gold Necklace

One-of-a-kind necklace by master jeweler Barbara Heinrich created in rich 18k yellow gold, the piece weaves together a kaleidoscopic array of fiery Ethiopian opals and mesmerizing Australian opals, each bead meticulously selected for its brilliance, depth, and individuality. Every opal in this necklace shimmers with life - flashes of crimson, emerald, sapphire, and gold dance across the stones as they catch the light. These natural wonders are interspersed with textured 18k yellow gold spacers, lending a sense of rhythm and warmth to the cool, mystical play-of-color found within the opals. The clasp, crafted with the same attention to detail as the rest of the piece, ensures security while adding another touch of elegance to the design. This is not merely jewelry, it is wearable art, a story told in stones that formed over millennia, brought to life by Barbara Heinrich’s timeless aesthetic and dedication to excellence. Overall length is 17" with an additional 1" extension chain. Stamped and Hallmarked.
