Dawn Waves – A Sweet Summer Dream Necklace

Dawn Waves – 1.3ct Solid Lightning Ridge Crystal Opal 925 Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace

A Glow Born from Morning Light

Dawn Waves captures the quiet beauty of the early hours — that soft, luminous moment when the first light brushes the sea and the horizon shifts from blue to gold. This 1.3ct solid Lightning Ridge crystal opal glows with gentle iridescence, blending pastel blues, seafoam greens, and threads of warm sunrise peach. Its colours move like the tide, revealing new flashes with every step and every change of light.

The Stone

This natural Lightning Ridge crystal opal is cut into a smooth oval cabochon that enhances its clarity and gentle colour play. Housed in a 925 sterling silver bezel, the stone appears to float like a small pool of morning light. Against the silver, its hues feel even more luminous — soft, oceanic, and quietly enchanting.

Dawn Waves has a calm and uplifting character: subtle when still, radiant when touched by sun.

Coastal Craftsmanship

Every opal we create is shaped, polished, and set by hand in Queensland. For Dawn Waves, the intention was simple — let the stone’s natural glow lead the design. The clean silver setting frames the opal without distraction, giving it room to shine while offering everyday durability and comfort.

The pendant hangs from a sterling silver chain that complements the opal’s translucent clarity, creating a piece that feels equal parts refined and effortless.

An Australian Opal with a Story

Lightning Ridge is renowned for producing some of the world’s most captivating opals — stones formed from ancient water and silica, holding millions of years of light. This piece carries that history gently, like a tide-worn shell collected at sunrise.

Care & Styling Tips

• Avoid harsh chemicals, high heat, and impact
• Store separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratching
• Pairs beautifully with whites, blues, silvers, and soft summer tones
• Ideal for beachside holidays, everyday wear, or quiet moments of reflection

A Stone of New Beginnings

Dawn Waves feels like a reminder of fresh starts — the glow of a new day, the softness of calm water, and the quiet clarity that comes with morning light. It’s a piece for those who love the ocean, gentle colour, and jewellery with soul.
