This is a stunning, one-of-a kind handmade sterling silver pendant. There are two pieces of  sterling silver (with a matte finish) riveted together with a sterling opal doublet stone set in between. A sterling opal stone means,"It is a synthetic gemstone that combines the play of color and distinctiveness of genuine opal with the economic pricing of synthetic opal. All color in sterling opal is the result of Bragg diffraction of visible light as occurs in natural opal" (see pictures above). A doublet means it is two-sided. The sterling silver pieces are hand sawn to be able to see both sides of the opal. This piece measures 1.75 inches tall including the bail and approximately 1 inch in width, and comes with an 18 inch sterling silver chain.
