Black Opal Runic Sterling Silver Necklace
Luxury handmade solid sterling silver pendant necklace embellished with a rune symbol from the Viking Elder Futhark runic alphabet, and set with gorgeous quality genuine black opal gemstone.
The pendant is highly polished, hallmarked sterling silver with a black opal cabochon set in a beautiful crown shaped gallery setting, and is suspended from a luxurious, smooth, snake chain with a secure lobster clasp. A unique addition to any jewellery collection.
-
The opal is a black opal - which only a few people may be familiar with as they are not so widely available as some other opal varieties. This makes black opal more of a considered purchase.
-
Although this gemstone is called a black opal, it has the most exquisite flashes of green and red when you move it in the light.
-
I'm so excited for you because not only is this a variety of opal which is not often seen but also that red is one of the rarest colour flashes to have in any opal.

Inspired by the Viking Elder Futhark runic alphabet, the 'shield' shaped design is embellished with a stylised runic symbol, this necklace makes an eloquent gift. The symbol featured on this pendant is:
-
Eihwaz (Ihwaz) – believed to symbolise patience, perseverance, wisdom in adversity
-
This unique necklace is the perfect gift for someone who is having a hard time at the moment - perhaps caring for a loved one who is stretching their tolerance - and needs a little extra support
