Discover the mysterious depth of this 17-inch Smoked Black Ethiopian Opal necklace. These natural Welo opals have undergone a traditional smoking treatment to achieve a dramatic dark body tone, which serves as a perfect canvas for their vibrant, multi-colored fire. Each bead flashes with a "fiery galaxy" effect, showing brilliant sparks of green, red, and blue. DETAILS Gemstone: 100% Natural Ethiopian Welo Opal. Treatment: Smoked (A stable, permanent enhancement for color contrast) Necklace Length: 17 inches, with 2-inch extension chain. Bead Style: Smooth Rondelle beads (approx. 3-5 mm, sizes will vary slightly from necklace to necklace) Metal Material: 925 Sterling Silver Plated Stainless Steel Closure: 925 Sterling Silver Plated 9 mm Lobster Clasp CARE INSTRUCTIONS Ethiopian opals are hydrophane, meaning they are porous and "thirsty" for liquids. Keep Dry: Never submerge in water (showering, swimming). They can absorb water like a sponge, which may temporarily turn them yellow or cloudy. No Chemicals: Apply perfumes and lotions before putting on your necklace to avoid staining the porous stones. Cleaning: Simply wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners. A NOTE ON YOUR NATURAL GEMSTONES Because I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Environmental Science and have a professional background as a geologist, I am deeply committed to the authenticity and scientific integrity of the gemstones I source. Natural Opal Characteristics: Please be aware that every opal in my shop is a unique creation of the Earth. Unlike synthetic or lab-created stones, natural Ethiopian, Mexican, and Australian opals are characterized by their "play-of-color," which shifts depending on the light source and angle. Variation: Because these are raw and natural materials, the item you receive will have its own distinct personality. There will be slight variations in color, fire, pattern, and size compared to the listing photos. Photography: I photograph my jewelry in natural outdoor lighting to capture the most accurate representation of the stone's fire. However, screen calibrations vary, and the opal may look different in indoor or low-light settings. Authenticity: My academic and professional expertise ensures that every stone is hand-selected and vetted for quality and natural origin. By purchasing, you are embracing a one-of-a-kind piece of geological history, shaped by nature and finished by hand. ***The photos were taken in natural outdoor lighting to show the most accurate detail. Like all natural gemstones, the colors will shift and appear deeper or different when viewed in indoor or dim lighting. Each Ethiopian opal is a unique creation of nature. Because they are natural gemstones, please expect slight variations in color intensity, 'fire' patterns, and bead dimensions from the examples shown. These beads are handcrafted, meaning no two are exactly alike. Minor differences in size (approx. +/- 0.5mm) and shape are a hallmark of authentic, handmade stone beads.
