Real white opal, set into our sun pendant
A 6mm Ethiopian Welo white opal sits at the heart of a 20mm sun pendant — raised sun rays radiating from the centre, framed by a textured outer rim. Welo opal is celebrated for its play of colour: subtle rainbow flashes that drift across the stone as it catches the light. Every opal is unique, with its own pattern of flashes — no two pendants are the same.
An October Birthstone Necklace with Meaning
Opal is one of two October birthstones (alongside tourmaline) and has been worn for thousands of years as the Stone of Hope — long associated with joy, creativity and the spark of inspiration. The sun design gives the opal a warm, grounded setting that brings out its play of colour. A meaningful gift for an October birthday, a creative milestone, or anyone in need of a quiet lift.

About White Opal
White opal is a hydrated silica mineral mined from a handful of sites around the world. The opal in our Sun Necklace comes from Ethiopia's Welo highlands, where it forms in seams of volcanic rock — a young, vibrant stone with a milky white base and the signature rainbow play of colour that makes opal one of the most prized gemstones in jewellery. Every Welo opal is naturally unique, with its own pattern of flashes, so each pendant is a small one-of-a-kind piece. A meaningful gift for October birthdays, creative milestones, new chapters, or anyone drawn to opal's quiet, shifting light.

Care
The chain and pendant are water and tarnish resistant — but opal is a softer, water-sensitive stone, so a little extra protection goes a long way. Remove your necklace before showering, swimming, saunas or applying perfume and lotion, and avoid sudden temperature changes. Store in your Abiza box when not worn.
