Tate’s Custom Orbit Necklace

Tate was given small, unmatched opals and diamonds from her beloved mother-in-law, Boo. She wanted an Orbit necklace that would be a standout statement suitable for day or nighttime wear, emitting the soft blue/green glow from the Australian opals. The choker needed a stunning focal point so I decided to shop for a large Opal at a reasonable price at the Tucson Gem and Mineral show last February. I selected this Ethiopian oval Opal, flanked it with Boo’s ten diamonds and accented the smaller orbits with tiny tanzanites to pull out the bluish/purple from each of the opals. Tate received the spectacular rolling flash Opal ring as a surprise birthday present from her husband, to create the perfect ensemble.
Happy summer from Ithaca! I hope to see you in the Fall–
