Nature did some of the artwork here. We're happy to give credit where it's due.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe opal is what really pulls you in. Against its deep coffee-brown ironstone matrix, ribbons and cloud-like pockets of color appear almost painted across the surface. That natural contrast is characteristic of Queensland boulder opal, where precious opal forms within iron-rich host rock and portions of that matrix are retained when the stone is cut. The result is less about perfect uniformity and more about miniature abstract landscapes created entirely by nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAround it, labradorite adds a cooler, more mysterious flash while the pearls bring softness and irregular texture. Rather than relying on a conventional metal chain, the cord becomes part of the composition, with a collected quality, as if the materials were gathered for the way their colors and surfaces speak to one another. Wear it with a simple neckline to give the opal room to shine, or with an outfit that shares its relaxed, bohemian spirit. Opal is also one of October's birthstones, which makes this a thoughtful pick for an October birthday.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKelly Merrell's creations are exclusive to Alara and come from one of the gallery's longest-running collaborative relationships, which makes this already singular necklace feel even more special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cu\u003eCold Hard Facts:\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003ematerial: silk\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cem\u003egems:\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eAustralian Koroit opal, (approx. 1.14\" x .6\")\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003elabradorite beads; (8mm)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003efreeform freshwater keshi pearls; (approx. 9mm x 6mm)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003elength: 18\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAQ\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the color I see on my screen match the necklace in person?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKoroit opal's cloud-like swirls of color against its dark, coffee-brown background can read a bit differently depending on the angle and the light around it, and the labradorite and pearls shift too. Your monitor adds its own variation on top of that. Screen settings, video cards, and browsers can all affect color slightly, so the necklace you receive may look a bit different than what you see here. By purchasing, you're acknowledging that possibility. If you'd like a true look before buying, we're happy to walk you through it over video chat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 18-inch length include the pendant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The stated necklace length is 18 inches, with the opal drop extending below it. Consider both measurements when deciding how it will sit with your preferred neckline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCould Sea Cliff be an October birthday gift?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes.
