All about Pacific Opal Accessories

Pacific Opal accessories have been making a wave in the fashion industry for a quite some time now. We have seen the bright blue hue make an appearance on award shows as well as on many Pinterest boards dedicated to this stunning gem! Many people wear the opal as a symbol of health and healing, while different opal stones are known to have various healing powers this is the most common theme.  Of course what a better reason to help your health while looking fabulous!

Pacific Opal is quite different than regular opal because of the bright glow that radiates from it the metal settings. While we mostly see pacific opal accessories paired with a silver metal it also looks stunning against gold or rose gold metal finishes. That is the great thing about this gemstone, it is so versatile in many aspects and that transpires into how you pair it with your outfits.

Our Pacific Opal accessories come in earrings, bracelet, and different tiered necklaces for you pair all together or separately! We do recommend that you only wear one necklace at a time; we think it might take away from your outfit if you try to compete with the two necklaces. You will shine brightly if you wore these accessories with a little black dress for a night out on the town or just with your favorite maxi skirt and tee to add a little brightness to your daily routine.  Whichever you choose, known that you will look and feel great!
