Something between mist and moonlight. This opalite hexagon pendant carries a soft, shifting blue — the kind of color that changes with the light, with the hour, with the mood of the day. Faceted into a clean hexagonal form, it holds the geometry of nature without losing any of its dreaminess.
Opalite is a stone of calm — its blue-white luminescence associated with clarity, stillness, and the space between thoughts. Worn close to the skin, it catches light the way still water does: quietly, completely.
The pendant is hand wire-wrapped and suspended from an 18" 14k gold-filled snake chain that rests at the base of the throat with elegant simplicity. Gold-filled, not plated — the gold is pressure-bonded to the core, making it genuinely tarnish-free and built for everyday wear.
A piece that asks nothing of you. Just light, and stillness, and a little gold.

SAÉA Stones
Onyx is a natural stone, stunning but not bulletproof. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh detergents. Read more here.
Each piece is sealed with food-grade beeswax. Refresh every 6 to 12 months by warming a small amount of oil or wax into the surface, then buffing gently with a soft cloth.

— the origin
carved from a single stone.
Onyx forms in slow, mineral-rich pockets underground — layers laid down over thousands of years. Each slab is split once, then carved by hand, which is why no two pieces share the same ribboning.
We keep the walls thin so light passes through when the piece sits on a window ledge.
