14k Gold Opal + Onyx Guan Yin Lotus Pendant. Goddess of Compassion

For sale is an Australian black opal triplet mosaic pendant set in onxy and 14k yellow gold. This pendant is large and wonderfully colorful! This medallion style pendant features an intricate opal mosaic of Guan Yin, goddess of love and compassion sitting on a lotus blossom.

The pendant displays a bold, dramatic palette of vibrant opalescent colors on the deep black onyx background. The opal is a triplet; the opals are backed in onyx, and topped with a clear quartz layer. 

The onyx adds depth to the color of the opals, and the quartz top magnifies and exaggerates the colors of each opal. The pendant flashes with a lovely swirl of purples, blues, and greens. As you move it in the light, you will see the colors flash.  

The opal is bezel set in a large oval gold frame, allowing you to see the black onyx backing. The backing is cracked, which does not affect the front but which is reflected in the price. The pendant has a good-sized articulated bail to accommodate your chain. This pendant would be gorgeous for either a man or a woman. Wear it long, like a medallion, or display it near the collarbone for a dramatic effect.
