Opal Glow
OPAL GLOW BARANGAROO BLUE CREATED OPAL PENDANT
The Barangaroo Pendant from the Opal Glow Collection draws inspiration from the waters of Sydney’s iconic harbour. Featuring a stunning oval created blue opal surrounded by sparkling white and blue cubic zirconias, this pendant reflects the shimmering waves along the Barangaroo foreshore. Meticulously crafted from Rhodium-Plated 925 Sterling Silver, the pendant measures approximately 13.6mm wide and is elegantly suspended on a 41cm chain with a 4cm extension, capturing the beauty of this natural wonder in every detail. Designer Note: Barangaroo Reserve is a celebrated Sydney site, transformed from an industrial area into a natural haven. Opened in 2015, it features 75,000 native plants chosen to recreate the landscape as it existed before European colonisation in 1788. Named after Barangaroo, an influential Indigenous woman, the reserve combines nature with cultural significance. Its sandstone headland, crafted from excavated materials, and terraced gardens offer visitors a glimpse of Sydney’s pre-colonial environment, making it both a public space and a tribute to Australia's Indigenous heritage. Georgini acknowledges and pays respect to the past, present and future Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation and the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Product information
MATERIALS
Silver
All GEORGINI Jewellery is crafted from 925 Sterling Silver. Pure silver, also called fine silver, is relatively soft, very malleable, and easily damaged, commonly combined with other metals to produce a more durable product.
The most popular of these alloys is sterling silver, which consists of 92.5 per cent silver and 7.5 per cent, copper. Although any metal can make up the 7.5 per cent non-silver portion of sterling, centuries of experimentations have shown copper to be its best companion, improving the hardness and durability of the metal without affecting its beautiful colour.
Silver Jewellery is Rhodium plated to give the effect of white gold or platinum. Rose Gold and Yellow Gold Jewellery are 18ct plated with one micron of plating on earrings and pendants and two microns of plating on rings.
Cubic Zirconium
Cubic Zirconia, or CZ for short, is an artificial, synthetic jewellery gemstone. There are very few substances on earth harder than Cubic Zirconia. With a hardness rating of 8.5 on the Moh’s scale, CZ comes close to matching diamond’s perfect 10.
Freshwater and Shell-Based Pearls
A freshwater pearl is a pearl that is cultured in a mussel in a lake, whereas the traditional cultured pearl is cultured in an oyster in the ocean. A shell-based pearl is an imitation. It is made by painting a shell bead with pearl paint, often made of crushed shell.
Semi-Precious Stones
GEORGINI uses natural semi-precious stones, including White Topaz, Pink Quartz, Blue Topaz, and Amethyst. These natural stones are not only beautiful but inspire positive energy. Rose Quartz for love, White Topaz for hope and happiness, Amethyst for healing and Blue Topaz for creativity. All our natural stones are ethically sourced.
Opal
Created or synthetic opal is a man-made gemstone inspired by Australia's natural opals, replicating their vibrant color and iridescence. Produced in a controlled laboratory environment using materials like silica and resin, these opals mimic the natural formation process that takes millions of years.
Synthetic opals capture the same stunning play of color and fire as Australia's opals but are more durable and resistant to cracking. They also offer a more affordable option while still reflecting the beauty of the country's most iconic gemstone.
Rhodium Plating
Rhodium plating is a rare and highly reflective transition metal that is a member of the platinum group. Rhodium is a naturally silvery-white metal that is sometimes used in jewellery making and is often electroplated on the surface of other metals to increase the reflectiveness. Rhodium has a lower density and weight than platinum but is heavier than gold. Rhodium is a hard metal with a hardness of 6.0 on the Moh’s scale and a melting point of around 1964°C.
E-Coating
E-coating is a protective and decorative process that enhances the durability and appearance of jewellery, especially on Sterling Silver and 18k Gold Plating. It resists tarnishing and wear and helps prolong the lifespan of jewellery, though proper care is still needed to maintain the finish over time.

Although rhodium plated jewellery will not tarnish if cared for as recommended, we still suggest the occasional cleaning with either a silver polishing cloth or a mild dish washing liquid. Rinse in warm water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
Clean stones with a SOFT toothbrush and dry with a soft cloth. Never use a chemical-based silver cleaner as this will damage the rhodium finish and also any inlaid gemstones.
