Super shiny and precious! This is a high quality jewelry for sure. I bought this necklace that represents my birthday as I caught her weating this gorgeous opal necklace.  I am impresed with the way the stone is embedded into this piece and I can see that it's a pure gem. I highly recommend this lovely item to lighten you up a bit especially in this difficult times as we cope with this worldwide pandemic. Also, the necklace itself is light weight and I could even wear it to sleep without any issues.  I love it!
