LUCINA Yellow Opal & Freshwater Pearl Necklace

The Light of New BeginningsLUCINA is named for the Roman goddess of light and childbirth, the guardian of new beginnings and the first breath of something not yet formed. This necklace carries that spirit through two stones that share a quality of warmth and openness: AAA-grade yellow opal faceted cube beads at 4 mm, with their honey-gold glow that reads like captured sunlight, alternating with natural freshwater pearls at 4 mm, whose organic luminosity comes from years of patient nacre formation rather than any geological process. At 44 cm with a 3 cm extension, the LUCINA sits at a length that is neither collarbone nor pendant, but somewhere in between, which gives it an unusual versatility for layering or wearing alone.Yellow Opal and Freshwater Pearls: Sun and WaterYellow opal is a variety of common opal found primarily in Peru and Mexico, valued for its warm semi-translucent honey-gold colouring produced by iron oxide inclusions within its silica structure. It is associated with creativity, optimism, and the kind of emotional warmth that opens rather than closes. Freshwater pearls are cultivated primarily in China and are the only gemstones produced by a living organism. Their lustre, called orient, is created by the layering of calcium carbonate crystals over time, and AAA-grade specimens have a warmth and depth that lower-grade material cannot match. Together, yellow opal and freshwater pearl create a necklace that feels genuinely alive: two organic, light-giving materials that complement each other through difference rather than similarity.How to Wear LUCINAThis necklace layers beautifully with shorter collarbone pieces like the LENORA Moonstone or the AYLA Kunzite Necklace, where the 44 cm length sits below them and gives the composition depth. Worn alone it is generous enough in colour and material combination to carry a full look on its own. It also pairs naturally with the LUCINA Yellow Opal and Freshwater Pearl Bracelet for a matching wrist and necklace combination in the same stones, and makes an exceptionally considered gift for a birthday, a new beginning, or any occasion that calls for jewellery with genuine warmth behind it.Materials & Details Gemstones: AAA-grade yellow opal faceted cube beads, 4 mm, and natural freshwater pearls, 4 mm oval Clasp & findings: Thick 18k gold plating on brass Length: 44 cm with a 3 cm adjustable extension Custom lengths available at hello@opaze-studio.com Care Keep away from perfume, chemicals, and prolonged moisture Store in your Opaze pouch when not wearing Arrives in an Opaze gift box
