The ‘Azure’ Necklace features an Australian Boulder Opal, bezel set in solid sterling silver. Though small in size, this opal displays vivid flashes of electric blue and green.
Handmade in my home workshop, this pendant was crafted using traditional silversmithing techniques. The sleek bezel setting offers a modern, minimal finish while securely framing the stone’s natural beauty.
Fully finished, stamped, and ready to ship. The necklace comes on a fine 1.3mm, 18" sterling silver trace chain.

Care
To keep your jewellery looking its best, store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Avoid applying perfume, hairspray, or other sprays near your jewellery, as these can cause metal to tarnish and dull the stone’s natural beauty.
Both sterling silver and gold can develop a natural patina over time. To restore their shine, gently polish with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, especially on pieces with opals.
The opals I use — primarily Australian opals — are more durable than other types, but they still require gentle care. Do not expose them to prolonged moisture or immerse them in hot water, as extreme temperature changes can damage the stone. Always remove your jewellery before bathing, swimming, or cleaning.
With a little mindfulness, your piece will remain beautiful for years to come.
Handmade
Each piece is individually handcrafted in my home workshop using traditional techniques and careful attention to detail. From the shaping of metal to the setting of each stone, no two pieces are ever exactly the same — each one is made to celebrate the unique character of the materials and carry a sense of individuality.
I work with responsibly sourced metals and natural opals, allowing their organic textures, colours, and forms to guide the design. Every element, from molten textures to smooth bezels, is crafted with intention and finished by hand to ensure lasting quality.
These pieces are not mass-produced — they are small-batch, thoughtfully made, and built to be worn, loved, and passed on.
