Pendant Manufacturing, Standards and Certifications

For the creation of the pendant with opal and zirconium oxide in rhodium-plated 925/1000 silver, with a height of 2 cm, a rigorous process is applied by Opalook, both internally and by specialized partners. The design begins with a meticulous prototyping phase, where each pendant is carefully imagined, drawn, created and examined to guarantee the required conformity and quality. The opals, selected in Australia, and the zirconium oxides are chosen for their authenticity and value. Once the prototype is validated, plaster molds are prepared, and the 925/1000 silver is melted and poured into these molds to form the base of the pendant. Each stage of manufacturing includes careful inspections and precise finishing. The pendants are hallmarked to authenticate the quality of the silver, including the hallmarks of the metal and the importer. A rhodium plating treatment is then applied to provide a shiny and durable finish, preventing oxidation. Each pendant comes with a certificate of authenticity and an information leaflet, demonstrating Opalook 's commitment to quality and transparency.

Maintenance tips for professionals and pendant wearers

Tips for professionals:

To optimize the presentation and preservation of our pendant with opal and zirconium oxide in rhodium-plated silver 925/1000, it is essential to follow specific care advice. To protect opals from friction and shocks, we recommend storing each piece of jewelry in individual bags or dedicated boxes. This will prevent any deterioration or scratching of the natural stone. For cleaning, a soft cloth soaked in cold water and dishwashing liquid is ideal for maintaining the shine and beauty of the opal's reflections, thus ensuring an impeccable presentation in the window. These practices will guarantee the durability and preservation of your pieces, while enhancing their perceived value.

Tips for pendant wearers:

• Cleaning and maintenance: Advise your customers to clean the pendant with opal and zirconium oxide, in rhodium-plated silver 925/1000, with lukewarm water and a few drops of colorless liquid soap. Avoid prolonged immersion to preserve the material. A soft cloth is preferable to hard toothbrushes to avoid scratches and maintain the shine of the jewel.
• Special Precautions: Inform your clients to avoid wearing this pendant during strenuous physical activities or in potentially damaging environments, such as the beach or while gardening. Opals are sensitive to extreme temperatures and sudden changes, so it is recommended to remove them before sleeping or showering. Exposure to chemicals, such as perfume, can also damage the stone.
• Storage: Advise your customers to store the pendant in a dry place and away from direct sunlight. Use a soft cloth pouch or lined jewelry box to avoid scratches and preserve the rhodium layer.
• Purification and recharging: Recommend to your clients to purify the opal using slightly salty water or by placing it on a bed of quartz for a few hours. To recharge the stone, exposing it to moonlight is ideal, avoiding direct sunlight which could alter its natural colors.
