Fire Opal Necklaces by Jeet Palavwala

At Gemvara, we believe that the fire opal necklaces you wear should be precious because they're personal. All our stylish necklaces are made just for you, in your choice of gems and precious metals. Add your own meaning to every design, creating beautiful memories and brilliant reminders. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from an engagement or Mother's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Pendants with symbolism, like circles, keys, hearts, initials, and knots are as personal as they are fashionable. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft our fire opal necklaces with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Our growing selection of fire opal necklaces by Ruzanna Davtian, Carl Ansley, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, and other talented designers means you can find a necklace that's exactly your style. Fire opal symbolizes the union of opposites: fire and water. Fire opal forms when water seeps into silica-rich red-hot lava, filling seams and hollows. Gemvara's fire opal is faceted for extra brilliance. Opal is an October birthstone and the 14th anniversary gem. All Gemvara pendants are available with your choice of chain style and length or no chain at all if that's what you prefer. The most popular chain length is 18 inches, which works with many necklines. Clean fire opal necklaces with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality fire opal necklaces are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Jeet Palavwala designs sophisticated dimensional jewelry that is like sculpture in precious metal and gems. His stunning lotus ring was the winner of our first international design competition. Although Jeet is from Surat, India, the city where most of the world's diamonds are cut and polished, he began his career designing machine tools. Before long he began using technology to design jewelry instead, naming his jewelry design studio Neviell. By combining his love of art with his a strong technical background, Jeet discovered that creating jewelry was his passion, or as he describes it, his "destiny." Always challenging his mind to think in new ways, he enjoys bringing new jewelry design ideas to life each day.

The fire opal is all about unity; in fact it symbolizes the unity of two polar opposites: fire and water. Fire opal forms when water seeps into silica-rich red, hot lava, filling all its crevices. Then the silica forms a solid gel, trapping the remaining water within its structure. This vivid gem's beauty also will remind you of flames. Color is the most important factor to consider in picking the perfect fire opal and a vivid orange hue means it is of fine quality. Unlike most opal, fire opal is faceted and has brilliance, as well as a bright, day-glow, orange color. Born in the fire of Mexico's volcanoes, fire opal's natural, bright orange color is unmatched in the gem kingdom. Cut is more important than clarity when choosing your fire opal because fire opal often has a welcome haziness that actually increases the vibrancy of its color. Opal is the October birthstone and the 14th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality fire opal will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine fire opal jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
