The Timeless Appeal of Australian Opal Pendants - Iona Opal Australia

The Timeless Appeal of Australian Opal Pendants

Opal pendants have been adorning necklines for centuries, and in Australia, they hold a special place in our hearts. At Iona Opal Australia, we craft pendants that celebrate the individuality of each stone, ensuring no two are ever alike.

Why Choose an Opal Pendant?

Pendants are one of the most versatile ways to wear opal. Whether you prefer a statement piece or a subtle accent, a pendant allows the gemstone’s colours to take centre stage—catching the light with every movement.

Perfect for Every Occasion

From everyday wear to formal events, opal pendants can be dressed up or down. They also make excellent gifts, especially for October birthdays or milestone celebrations.

Types of Opals for Pendants

Black Opal: Dramatic, with intense flashes of colour—perfect for a striking centrepiece.

White Opal: Soft, pastel tones that work beautifully in elegant or vintage-inspired designs.

Boulder Opal: Earthy and unique, with natural ironstone framing the gem.

Crystal Opal: Translucent and luminous, with a glowing play-of-colour.

Choosing the Right Setting

The setting plays a huge role in both style and durability. A simple bezel setting offers protection for daily wear, while claw settings can enhance light flow and brilliance. Gold enhances warm tones in the opal, while silver or white gold can highlight cooler blues and greens.
