Peruvian Opal Pendants in Sterling Silver  

Andean Blue and Pink Opal Pendant Necklaces

Peruvian opal differs from Australian opal in one major way: it lacks the fire play that other opals display. Instead, this stone offers a solid, milky color that ranges from Caribbean blue to rose pink, depending on mineral content. The blue variety gets its color from microscopic chrysocolla inclusions. Pink Peruvian opal contains organic compounds that create its warm blush tone. Both types register 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them suitable for pendant wear with reasonable care. Every pendant in this collection features genuine Peruvian opal sourced from mines in the Andes mountains near the Caraveli province. We set each stone in solid .925 sterling silver, verified and hallmarked. Since 2005, SilverRush Style has worked with the same network of cutters and silversmiths who understand how to showcase this particular stone's translucent depth.
