Notes
This loose gemstone is paired with a CAD design that brings our gems to life as conceptualised made-up pieces of jewellery, a design collaboration between Strauss & Co and Taz Watson.
The mesmerising play of colour in each opal, always unique, has long inspired writers, poets, and creative souls. To those who wear it, the opal represents hope, luck, and purity. An enigma even to scientists, the exact process of this silica-rich gemstone’s formation remains a mystery. Opals have been discovered in Kenya dating as far back as 4000 BC, and the gem is celebrated as the birthstone of October.
Likely origin of this Opal is Ethiopia
