One of a Kind | VivacityEver Growing Love and Oval Cut Australian Opal Gemstone Oversized Belcher Extension NecklaceOpal, Diamonds, Yellow Gold

Description

Crafted in 18k Yellow Gold, opal, and diamonds, the Ever Growing Love and Oval Cut Australian Opal Gemstone Oversized Belcher Extension Necklace is part of Beth's Collection and represents our Tenet of Vivacity.

Each season, Founder and Creative Director Beth Hutchens chooses styles from the latest collection to pair with her signature jewelry.

This necklace pairs our oversized belcher chain extension chain with the Australian opal cache link pendant, a one-of-a-kind style that is part of our Collector's Series. The pendant can be worn on its own, but here it connects the chain to the medallion. To use it as a connector, you simply release the hinged jump ring tucked into the bezel. It also includes an Annex Link for easy customization.

A true one of a kind, each pendant is designed and cast to fit the gemstone exactly, and each stone is hand-selected according to our rigorous selection process.

The Ever Growing Love Exuberant Medallion features symbols that represent Vivacity, which encourages us to live a life filled with exploration, discovery, and learning. The plus and minus signs denote a French expression: qu'hier, que demain, meaning ''more than yesterday and less than tomorrow,'' a phrase that speaks to an ever-growing love and an ever-expanding life. Wings at the top of the medallion are signs to soar in spite of our doubts and fears. If not now, when?

Care Instructions
  • Clean with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Avoid soaking.
  • Do not wear in the pool or shower — chlorine, chemicals, and prolonged water exposure can cause discoloration as the stone absorbs moisture.
  • Keep away from extreme heat and excessive dryness, which can cause internal cracks.
  • Store separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching, since opals are softer than many other gemstones.

Ever-Growing

The plus and minus signs, in combination with two french phrases: Qu'hier, Que Demain translated as "Today more than yesterday and less thank tomorrow" representing the accumulation of experiences that produce more love, a larger heart, and a fuller life: resulting in memories of treasured life that builds, today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.

Distilled from a couplet taken from the poem "L'eternelle chanson" that has stood the test of time and continues to inspire with even a single line of verse. Written in 1889 by Rosamonde Gerard.

Au jourd'hui plus qu'hier et bien moins que demain
Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow

Symbolic of ever-growing love and an ever-growing life, each moment a gift.

Plus & Minus

The plus and minus signs represent a French phrase: qu'hier que demain, taken from the 1889 poem, "L'Eternelle Chanson" by Rosamonde Gerard - "more than yesterday and less than tomorrow." This beautiful sentiment is an homage to a generous heart and ever-growing love, a larger heart, and the accumulation of memories of a treasured life.
