Australian Opal Statement Necklace
Australian Opal Statement Necklace
This one-of-a-kind Australian opal statement necklace is handmade by Andrea Li in her Denver studio: an asymmetric design built across multiple sterling silver chains and anchored by an Australian opal pendant.
Around the opal sits a hand-placed cluster of tanzanite, iolite, chalcedony, labradorite, mystic topaz, pink amethyst, natural sillimanite cat’s eye, purple amethyst, and pearl. The off-balance composition is intentional, designed to move and catch light from every angle. From the Signature Collection: built once, never replicated, never manufactured, made for a collector who wants something genuinely unrepeatable.
Opal is the most fragile stone I work with, and I learned that the hard way building my pastel collection, where I broke more than a few before I changed my approach. Now I set the opal last and seat it by hand, leaving deliberate give in the surrounding cluster so no single point of pressure ever reaches the stone. The whole necklace is cold-connected, assembled with wire and never with heat, which is what lets an opal anchor a piece this layered without putting the stone at risk.
One of a kind. When it sells, it’s gone. Explore more in the Signature Collection.
