As October spreads its wings over us, we at C. Krishniah Chetty Group are thrilled to celebrate opal, a gemstone known for its mesmerizing colours and dynamic play of light. Arguably the most unique, diverse and beautiful birthstone, the opulent opal has been the muse of artists and writers since the beginning of time. An amorphous stone without a defined crystalline structure, it takes different shapes and colours in a totally unpredictable manner.

 In the month that celebrates this one-of-a-kind gemstone, let us explore the unique beauty, rich symbolism, and fascinating history of opal, showcasing how it’s woven into our latest collections of personalised jewellery. So, hop on aboard and together let us become friends with this kaleidoscopic wonder, a symbol of hope, purity and transformation.

More than Meets the Eye

A royal beckoning, this spectacular necklace with a special asymmetrical cut opal centrepiece along with encrusted diamonds and hanging pearl strings with rubies, is a majestic piece to elevate any ensemble.

Opal holds a place of its own in the gemstone world owing to its ability to diffract light and showcase a vivid array of colours. From fiery reds and oranges to cool blues and greens, it is any colour you like with this wonder stone. This phenomenon termed as ‘play-of-colour’ ensures that each piece of jewellery tailored with this gemstone is truly unique and absolutely special.

At C. Krishniah Chetty Group, our opal garlands of felicity and rings of harmony celebrate this singular beauty, creating pieces that are as special as the people who adorn them.

A Kaleidoscopic World of Wonder

Exuding vintage charm, this dainty necklace with a stunning opal centrepiece is beautifully complemented by cultured pearls on the chain. One for the ages, this necklace is a unique accomplice to style your outfits for the festive season.

Throughout history, opal has been regarded as a symbol of hope, fidelity, and assurance. In ancient times, it was believed to have possessed the powers and virtues of all coloured stones due to its diverse spectrum. A little bit of wonder from every wonderful gemstone in the planet. This kaleidoscopic melange of colours and positive attributes is what sets this gemstone apart from the rest and gives it an identity of its own. 

As we waltz into October, let us also feature its gemstone in adornments that are sure to get heads turning and hearts reeling.

From Down Under to the World

Pear-fect for the autumn/fall season, this indulgent bracelet with a pear-shaped central opal flanked by turquoise stones, is a conversation starter as much as it is a collection piece to own and cherish for your big occasions.

The history of opal is as colourful as the stone itself. Prized by royalty and sought after by the elite, opals have been treasured for over a thousand years. With the majority of the stones now coming from the canyons of Australia, the land of the kangaroos is rightly proclaimed as the opal capital of the world. Indigenous Australian myths often link the creation of opals with rainbows. One such myth is that an ancestral being came to earth on a rainbow and when this rainbow touched the ground, all the pebbles and rocks in the vicinity began sparkling and turned into opals.

 C. Krishniah Chetty Group takes pride in sourcing our collection of these rainbow stones from Australia ensuring that each gemstone that shines in our opal jewellery not only looks exquisite, but also tells a story of heritage, pedigree and conscientious acquisition.
