Rebecca Rau’s design reimagines this ancient artifact with a dynamic interplay of color and light. A 2.30-carat Lightning Ridge black opal flickers with iridescent fire above a richly hued 2.99-carat oval Merelani mint garnet. Surrounding them, five rhodolite garnet sugarloaf cabochons and five round teal tourmalines create a rhythmic chromatic pattern—each gemstone hand-set in radiant 18K gold. The piece hangs from an 18K diamond-cut chain, balancing archaeological gravity with refined modern wearability.
Chain: 15 3/4" length
Pendant: 1 3/4" length x 1 1/2" width
