Flashy Ethiopian Opal Beaded Gemstone Necklace

This exquisite beaded gemstone strand necklace features AAA-quality, 5mm Ethiopian Opal with very firey inclusions in every stone.

The necklace is spaced with 14k gold-filled barrel beads and fastens with a 14k gold-filled toggle clasp. A 14k gold-filled 2-inch extender chain allows this necklace to be worn 16 - 18inches. 

Opal enhances spiritual consciousness and encourages flashes of insight. It's also a protective stone for deep inner work and meditation.

"Gold filled" means there is a solid layer of gold (12k, 14k, 18k or 24k) permanently bonded to a base metal, such as brass. The minimum layer of gold must equal at least 1/20th of the total weight of the piece in order for it to be designated 'gold filled.' 

 Gold-filled is a beautiful and more economical alternative to solid gold, which is not affordable for everybody. Gold-filled jewelry has 100x more gold than gold-plated, and because that layer is so much thicker, it means gold-filled jewelry lasts longer and stands up to wear and tear better.
