14th anniversary necklaces honor a meaningful milestone with opal, the traditional gemstone for this year of marriage. Our collection of 431 sterling silver opal necklaces ranges from $479 to $38,569, each set in .925 sterling silver and featuring natural stones. Opal rates 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale and forms over millions of years from silica deposits in sedimentary rock. Most of our opals originate from Australian and Ethiopian mines, where conditions produce the stone's signature play-of-color.

Opal became the designated 14th anniversary gemstone through traditional anniversary gift lists that assign specific stones to each year of marriage. The stone's internal play-of-color, caused by light diffracting through silica spheres, symbolizes the many dimensions a relationship develops over 14 years.
Opal contains 3-21% water content, so avoid prolonged heat exposure and store away from direct sunlight. Clean with a soft damp cloth rather than ultrasonic cleaners or harsh chemicals, and remove before swimming or bathing.
