OBSESSED!! | ETHIOPIAN WELO OPAL STATION NECKLACE.

Ohhhh the FIRE in these opals!!

A gorgeous and elegant extra-length Sterling Silver station necklace, beautifully set with 16 oval translucent Ethiopian Welo Opal cabochons, individually bezel/tube set at intervals along the fine silver chain.

And these are certainly NOT shy opals!!In the light, the cabochons come alive with that magical play-of-colour opal is famous for — flashes of fiery orange, yellow, electric green and hints of red dancing across their warm honey-toned translucent bodies. Every movement gives you something different!

Ethiopian Welo opal has become incredibly sought-after for exactly this reason. Discovered commercially in Ethiopia's Wollo/Welo region in the late 2000s, these opals are celebrated for producing spectacular play-of-colour, often from beautifully translucent material.

The name “opal” is traditionally associated with the idea of seeing a change in colour — and one look at these little beauties in sunlight explains exactly why. 

The extra-length station design makes this SO wearable — elegant enough worn completely on its own, but absolutely fabulous layered amongst shorter silver chains and pendants for a more decadent stacked look.

And of course, Opal is the traditional birthstone for October, making this an especially beautiful piece for an October baby.
