This beautiful dendritic opal was originally going to be an earring. However, during the setting process, it broke :-(
Always one to make lemonade out of lemons (after a bit of swearing), I decided to repair it. Lately I have been using my version of the Japanese process of Kintsugi to fix my broken gems. This is the process of repairing something (usually pottery) with gold in a lovely metaphor for us to embrace our flaws and find the good in our accidents.
What we have is a cream colored, spike-shaped dendritic opal that has been repaired with 23kt gold leaf. It is set in sterling silver that has been darkened (oxidized) by hand in order to provide a nice contrast to the brightness of the gold.
This unique pendant hands from an 18" gold-filled rolo chain that closes with a spring ring clasp.
Embrace your flaws.
