This handcast sterling silver snake pendant showcases a gorgeous bezel-set Aurora Opal and a tiny 3mm tube set Chrome Diopside faceted stone. The snake is oxidized and polished to highlight its pattern. It hangs from an oxidized and polished sterling silver chain and secure lobster clasp. Truly a unique conversation piece.
Aurora Opal is a 3-layer synthetic opal, or triplet, with amazing iridescent rainbow color. Synthetic opal is opal that’s made in a laboratory. It has the same chemical and physical properties as natural, mined opal. That means that synthetic opal is real opal. They are more cost effective, easier to cut, grind and shape than the more brittle natural gems and are highly resistant to temperature changes, as well as dry environments.
The tiny emerald green stone is called Chrome Diopside, a rare gemstone that is mined in remote eastern Siberia.
The pendant with stones measures 2 5/8" long and 5/8" at the widest point. The total length of the necklace is 20".
