What is a crystal opal?
Crystal opal is a natural opal with a translucent to transparent body tone. This allows light to enter the gemstone and illuminate its play-of-colour.

Will the opal look exactly like the one pictured?
Every natural Australian opal has its own colour and pattern. If more than one ‘Cherisse’ pendant is available, subtle variations may occur, making each piece naturally individual.

What metal is the pendant made from?
The pendant and claw setting are crafted in solid 9ct yellow gold, which brings warmth to the design and complements the opal’s natural colours.

Does the pendant include a chain?
Yes. ‘Cherisse’ is supplied with a complimentary 45cm (18") gold-plated display chain. For regular or long-term wear, we recommend pairing the pendant with a solid gold chain.

Is ‘Cherisse’ suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. Its lightweight design makes it suitable for regular wear, although opal jewellery should be treated with care and removed before swimming, bathing, exercising or undertaking physical activities.

Can this pendant be layered with other necklaces?
Yes. The refined heart-shaped design can be worn alone or layered with chains of different lengths to create a personalised look.

Does the pendant come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes. ‘Cherisse’ is presented with a signed Black Star Opal Certificate of Authenticity confirming that the gemstone is a genuine Australian opal.

Is the pendant suitable as a gift?
Yes. The romantic heart design makes ‘Cherisse’ a thoughtful choice for a birthday, anniversary, Valentine’s Day or another special occasion. It arrives ready to present in a branded Black Star Opal pendant box.

How should I care for the ‘Cherisse’ opal pendant?
