This opal is cut to highlight a ribbon/chaff pattern, revealing bold horizontal stripes of shifting color that stay vibrant as the pendant moves. Encasing it in clear borosilicate glass amplifies those luminous layers for a striking, dimensional look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Care Instructions: How should I clean the sterling silver attached to my jewelry?

I recommend gently polishing the sterling silver using a treated silver polishing cloth. There are many excellent brands available, and they work very well to remove tarnish. I include a silver polishing cloth with every purchase for your convenience. I do not recommend liquid dipping solutions, as they can cause the silver to tarnish more quickly over time and often require frequent re-polishing once used.

I want to keep the leather cord but return the pendant.

If an item is returned without the specially discounted-priced leather cord, you will be charged the full price of $15-$24 for the leather cord. I do offer handmade leather cords for sale in my store. However, when purchasing a pendant, I offer a very special discounted price, as I believe my work looks best with the leather cord.

Custom and personalized orders

Custom Orders Welcome
I’m happy to offer custom orders when they fit my signature style, such as creating a piece in a different color palette or slightly different shape or size. I do not copy or recreate other artists’ designs. If you’re looking for a specific style created by another artist, I recommend reaching out to them directly for a custom request.

Wholesale availability

Wholesale pricing is available on a sliding scale for qualifying orders. I also offer a separate product line designed specifically for museum gift shops and similar venues. Wholesale pricing begins with a minimum purchase of 50 items. Please feel free to contact me for details and availability.

Studio & Process

I am the sole artist creating every piece you see in my Etsy shop. Each item is individually made by me using a GTT Sidewinder torch and a variety of high-quality borosilicate glass. All work is carefully kiln-annealed overnight in a digitally controlled kiln for durability. I also photograph every finished piece individually, so the item shown is the exact piece you will receive.

Wow. This necklace is a luminous pendant!! I never want to take it off. Fantastic quality and super fast shipping. Whenever light reflects off of the opal within the glass, it bounces around spaces in subtle ways. It's like playing Where's Waldo with the light, searching for glowing treasure. Thank you so much, Heather! I'll be returning soon to gift this beauty to friends and family. šŸ™šŸ½


Absolutely stunning. Truly breathtaking, the images in the photos did not do justice. I am now looking into another set.


Super beautiful and well made. The opal inside is clear with a highly reflective and distinctive coloring. I highly recommend purchasing from this artist. I know I will be back for more!


I love my necklace and I am constantly getting compliments on it. Soon I may get another because I love it that much!


Beautiful art piece and great customer service. Product was very high quality.
