“Opal in the Sky – Expanding Universe” Pendant
An extraordinary celestial-inspired pendant, the “Opal in the Sky – Expanding Universe” design by Wolfgang Vaatz captures the dynamic beauty of the cosmos.
The pendant is crafted from 18K yellow gold and 14K white gold fused to sterling silver, creating rich contrasts of color and texture. At its center rests a fabulous opal weighing 2.54 carats, glowing with shifting flashes of color that evoke distant galaxies and cosmic light. Surrounding the opal, 22 flush-set diamonds radiate outward in a motif of expanding energy, suggesting the powerful burst of a star or the continual expansion of the universe.
The pendant hangs from an oxidized sterling silver chain measuring 16.5 inches, with a 3.5-inch extension for adjustable wear. The pendant itself measures 1.98 inches by 0.84 inches, giving it an elegant presence while remaining comfortable and wearable.
A striking piece of wearable art, this original design blends precious metals, luminous gemstones, and imaginative craftsmanship to celebrate the mystery and brilliance of the night sky.
