Jeweller’s Promise
Every piece is handcrafted by me in my Brisbane studio. Whether one-of-a-kind or part of a small batch, I create jewellery that’s unique, meaningful, and never mass-produced.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Rift Opal Necklace is a sculptural piece that brings together movement, colour and form in a truly distinctive way. A freeform Australian boulder opal sits at the top, its shifting blue tones catching the light like water. Below it, a deep purple amethyst and a soft blue sapphire are stacked in harmony, each chosen to draw out the opal’s natural colours.
Framed by fine engraved lines - a signature texture in my work - the pendant feels both organic and architectural, like something shaped by time and touch.
Handcrafted in sterling silver, the one-of-a-kind Rift Opal Necklace is designed for those who are drawn to unique gemstone jewellery and the beauty of natural composition.

NECKLACE SIZE GUIDE
HANDCRAFTED PROCESS & FINISH
Each piece is individually hand-carved, cast, and finished using traditional jewellery-making techniques. Because of this process, you may notice subtle variations in the metal surface, including gentle patterns or tonal shifts in certain areas.
These characteristics are a natural result of casting and hand-finishing and are not structural flaws. They do not affect the strength, durability, or wearability of the piece. Rather, they are part of what makes each design truly one of a kind, reflecting its handmade origin rather than a mass-produced finish.
Every piece is carefully inspected and finished to ensure it meets a high standard of quality while preserving the integrity and character of the handmade process.
MATERIALS
Sterling Silver
Crafted in solid 925 Sterling Silver, chosen for its durability, wearability, and timeless cool tone. Suitable for everyday wear and designed to age beautifully over time.
9ct Gold
Made using solid 9ct gold, an alloy valued for its strength, longevity, and warm, subtle yellow hue. Its durability makes it well suited to pieces intended for regular wear.
Please note: If you have known metal sensitivities or allergies, it’s best to consider this before purchasing, as alloy compositions can vary.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a metal that can naturally tarnish and turn dull over time. To keep your sterling silver looking shiny, store your jewellery pieces away from moisture, harsh chemicals (including household chemicals), perfumes and lotions. It is recommended you remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing and hand washing.
One of the best ways to prevent sterling silver jewellery from tarnishing is by wearing it. Your skin's oils can help to keep the jewellery clean and maintain its brilliance.
Cleaning can also be done easily with a silver polishing cloth (I recommend a Sunshine Polishing Cloth), but avoid the cloth coming into contact with any gemstones and/or gold vermeil.
9ct Gold
9ct Gold can lose its shine. Keep it looking its best by storing your jewellery pieces away from moisture, harsh chemicals (including household chemicals), perfumes and lotions. It is recommended you remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing and hand washing.
You can easily clean your 9ct gold jewellery by soaking it in some lukewarm water and after a couple of minutes, scrubbing it gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap.
Gemstones
Skeleton Coast Jewellery takes pride in selecting natural gemstones and diamonds that are completely unique and one-of-a-kind. These stones may contain inclusions which do not signify a flaw within the stone, but rather the individuality of something that has been created by Earth many lifetimes ago.
It should be noted that gemstones and even diamonds can break if they aren’t handled with care. The pressure and angle of impact are the main contributing factors. Please contact me with any questions regarding gemstone and diamond care.
