It's easy to see why civilizations throughout the ages have fallen in love with opals. Its pinfire flashes of iridescent pinks and greens on moonlight have mesmerized admirers since the beginning of time. Over the years, they came to symbolize such characteristics as hope, purity, prophesy, and foresight. The Romans called the opal the "king of gems" since it contained all the hues of the rainbow in addition to the colors of other gems.

To pay proper homage to this luminous beauty, Stauer showcases milky white opals with chevrons of pavé-set diamond in 14K gold. A 2-7/8 carat opal perches on the split-band ring (available in sizes 5-10). The 2-7/8 carat opal pendant depends from a 20" 14K gold chain with lobster clasp. The earrings (3-1/2 ctw) have post backs.
