Black Opal Pendant – Platinum, Red Fire, Diamond Halo

A rare investment-grade Australian Black Opal pendant, set in platinum and framed by a full halo of brilliant-cut diamonds. The opal displays a dominant red play-of-colour with accents of green and blue that shift across the stone as it catches light — red fire is the most prized colour in black opal and the hardest to find.

Platinum's cool white tone lets the opal's colour carry the piece, while the diamond halo amplifies every flash. Designed as an heirloom investment piece for serious collectors.

About Black Opal

Black opal is the rarest and most sought-after variety of Australian opal, mined almost exclusively from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. Its dark body tone — ranging from dark grey to jet black — creates a dramatic backdrop that intensifies the stone's natural play-of-colour, producing vivid flashes that appear to glow from within. Black opal with red fire sits at the pinnacle of the gemstone world and is among the most valuable gems on earth.
