Stunning Lab-Created Opal Pendant Necklace
Product: 11141
Dimensions: Approximately 20 mm x 15 mm x 7 mm
Weight: 13 cts.

This stunning lab-created opal pendant, or synthetic opals, is a man-made gemstone. Lab-created opals have the same physical properties, chemical composition, and appearance as natural opals. Lab-created opals often mimic the natural opal formation process in a concentrated period.

• The pendant is made of .925 sterling silver with yellow-gold rhodium plating.
• Rhodium plating is a thin layer of rhodium coated onto a base metal, such as silver, gold, or another alloy. This gives jewelry extra strength and luster. Rhodium plating is shinier and more durable than other metals. It doesn’t scratch, dent, or corrode and retains its luster. Rhodium is one of the rarest precious metals, even more expensive than gold or platinum.

Natural opals with the same color, brightness, dimensions, and carat weight will easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. If you want the look of an exceptional natural opal but at a fraction of the cost, lab-created opals are a great option!
