Designed by Jenni Brammall and carved by Daniela L'Abbate
Coocoran Opal Fields, Lightning Ridge, Australia
Aptly named "Aqua Profonda" in Italian meaning "Deep Water" this pendant represents the finest, classic black opal available from the world's premier locality for the mineral—-Lightning Ridge, Australia.
The significantly-sized rough was found by opal miner, Peter Drackett. However, its beauty was brought out by local lapidary artist Daniela L'Abbate, who carved and contour polished it until it realized its present weight of approximately 99.0 carats. A suggestion of waves and swirling seas is evoked. The opal is defined by its true black body color and fantastic play-of-color in blue and green.
Creating a statement as a contemporary one-of-a-kind art piece, a free-form mounting was fabricated by Lightning Ridge goldsmith, Gerd Schulz in 18K white gold. Suspended from a five-strand lapis lazuli bead necklace with two silver bead spacers and a 14K white gold clasp, the muted colors of the indigo-hued lapis contrast beautifully with the brightness of the opal, length 24 in.
