{"product_id":"doublet-opal-diamond-drop-pendant-yellow-gold","title":"Doublet Opal and Diamond Drop Pendant | Pear Shape | 9ct Yellow Gold","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA doublet opal and diamond pendant in 9ct yellow gold. The opal is soft blue, with small flashes of green, orange and pink scattered through it, more gentle shimmer than bold flash. A smooth, generous yellow gold bezel wraps the whole edge. It's the most protective setting for an opal, and it frames that pale blue in warm metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pear-shaped doublet opal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiamond:\u003c\/strong\u003e One round brilliant diamond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9ct yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSetting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bezel set\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sold separately\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePair with: \u003c\/strong\u003eMatching Drop Earrings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout opal\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOpal is made of tiny silica spheres stacked in a regular pattern, and its play of colour comes from light diffracting between them. The size of the spheres decides which colours appear. A doublet is a thin slice of natural precious opal bonded to a dark backing. The backing makes the slice stronger and deepens its colour, so a doublet gives you real opal colour at a more accessible price than a solid stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than most gemstones. The bezel protects the edge, but take it off for the gym, gardening or cleaning. Don't soak a doublet or wear it swimming or in the shower, because water can work into the bonded layer over time and cloud it. Wipe it clean with a soft damp cloth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBirthstone:\u003c\/strong\u003e October\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore on this stone\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eWant to know more about opal?
