Is this the exact opal pendant I will receive?

What materials are used in the ‘Iilana’ pendant?
The pendant features an Australian opal doublet bezel set in gold plated silver. A cubic zirconia is set into the decorative bow above the opal, with a complimentary gold plated display chain.

Is the gemstone a solid Australian opal?
No. ‘Iilana’ contains an Australian opal doublet, which combines a layer of natural Australian opal with a dark backing that enhances its play-of-colour. Doublets offer vivid natural opal colour at a more accessible price than many comparable solid opals.

What size is the ‘Iilana’ opal pendant?
‘Iilana’ has an elongated teardrop shape that creates a graceful vertical profile when worn. Please refer to the Product Details for the exact opal and pendant dimensions, as photographs can make jewellery appear larger or smaller than its actual size.

Does the pendant include a chain?
Yes. ‘Iilana’ includes a complimentary 45cm (18″) gold plated display chain, allowing it to be worn or presented as a complete necklace. You can also pair the pendant with another compatible chain if you prefer a different length or style.

How does gold plated silver compare with solid gold?
Gold plated silver provides the warm appearance of yellow gold at a more affordable price than a solid gold setting. The plating can gradually wear with regular use, so it requires more careful handling than solid gold.

How should I care for this opal pendant?
Gently wipe the pendant with a soft, dmp cloth after wearing and store it separately in its jewellery box. Avoid chemical cleaners, ultrasonic machines, perfumes, hairsprays and prolonged exposure to water, as these can affect the opal doublet and gold plating.

Can I wear ‘Iilana’ every day?
The pendant can be worn regularly with appropriate care, but we recommend removing it before showering or swimming. This will help protect the opal doublet, cubic zirconia and gold plated finish.

Is ‘Iilana’ suitable as a gift?
Yes. Opal is the traditional October birthstone, while the bow design also makes ‘Iilana’ a thoughtful choice for a birthday, anniversary or milestone. It arrives in a branded Black Star Opal pendant box with a Certificate of Authenticity and complimentary display chain.

Is worldwide shipping free and insured?
Yes. Complimentary fully insured and trackable shipping is available throughout Australia, the USA, UK, New Zealand, Europe and other international destinations. Tracking details will be provided after your order has been dispatched.
