Northern lights pendant in solid 14k gold

This northern lights enamel pendant features an Ethiopian opal and is hand painted with glass enamel.

The glass enamel starts as a fine powder and is sifted in layers onto a copper base and fired at high temperatures in a kiln. The lines are then painted with a painting enamel that is also fired in a kiln. The end result is a highly detailed porcelain painting that is not affected by UV light or water!

The enamel cabochon has been set in solid 14k gold. The pendant comes on a solid 14k gold, 17 inch/ 43 cm chain. 

All the jump rings are soldered to ensure longevity.
