Silver Blue Dragon Necklace
$70FREE
A special piece of the ocean to keep wherever you may find yourself.
The Glaucus atlanticus is about the size of a grape. It drifts upside down on the surface of the open ocean, belly to the sky, hunting the Portuguese man o' warm, and once it has eaten one, it keeps the stinging cells for itself. Most people walk straight past one on the sand with no idea what they are looking at.
This is that creature, in polished stainless steel, set with blue and green opal that moves in the light the way deep water moves. The opal does not sit still. It catches the sun and throws it back, which is what made one buyer write, in capitals: AND THEN THE SUN HITS IT OMGGGGG. That reaction is not unusual. It is the standard.
The pendant is 32mm wide and 29mm tall, large enough to be noticed from across a room, refined enough to wear to anything. The chain sits at 17 inches, right at the collarbone, where the light finds it. Buyers keep saying the same thing: it is better in person than in the photographs.
Designed in Australia by nudibranch enthusiasts. We grew up watching blue dragons scatter across the sand after an onshore wind, and fell for the colours and that strange feathered shape long before we ever thought about making anything. This is our attempt to hand that feeling to somebody else.

The Creature
There is a creature in the Australian ocean so extraordinary that most people who find one think they are hallucinating. The Glaucus atlanticus floats upside down on the open sea, belly to the sky, hunting prey three hundred times its size.
And there is Australian opal. Born, the legend says, where a rainbow touched the earth. Every stone is a different world of colour, shifting and alive. This pendant holds both.
Why it matters
Some women want jewellery.
Others want a symbol.
You have scrolled past a thousand necklaces that could belong to anyone, pretty, forgettable, the same in every shop window. This is for the woman who wants to wear something with a pulse: a real creature, a real story, something people stop and ask about. Not another piece in the drawer. A signature that is unmistakably yours.
βIt's not just a necklace. It's the story I get to tell every time someone notices it.β

Amazing quality and my wife was totally surprised and loves it! Didn't think that there was going to be an overlap of her love of nudibranches and wanting an Opal necklace, but it's perfect! Shipping, packaging and the whole process was great. Thank you!

Great product for a gift for my girlfriend
In our family, we have a tradition of giving opal on a 13th birthday (the unlucky stone cancels out the unlucky number 13). To find a nice opal piece for a boy is a real challenge, so I was very pleased to find this. A lovely piece, and it came with a plain silver nudibranch friend which was very welcome.
Très beau collier exactement comme sur la photo
Absolutely beautiful necklace, thank you!
this is gorgeous and the size is excellent
Beautiful! Thank you so much!
It's a very pretty necklace. The shipping was fast too.
I love this little necklace. It is beautifully crafted and definitely recommended for marine enthusiasts and fans of odd animals. I am very happy I treated myself to this piece and look forward to adding it to my collection of weird animal jewelry.

This necklace is so very beautiful. The pendant is just the right size. And they sent me a second necklace for free. It was a smaller, all silver version of the little sea slug. So amazing. Will buy from this shop again.
