This pendant centers a 23.06 carat Ethiopian opal within an architectural setting inspired by Byzantine design. A carefully balanced arrangement of white and yellow diamonds was chosen to enhance the opal's natural play of color.
Admired in the Byzantine world for its luminous, ever-changing appearance, the opal was associated with light, protection, and transformation. Designed around the unique character of the gemstone, the setting remains disciplined, allowing flashes of blue, green, gold, and crimson to emerge with every movement. The surrounding diamonds echo the opal's shifting tones, allowing the character of the gemstone to define the piece.
