In this year's Neiman Marcus Christmas Book, there is a very special and one-of-a-kind Henry Dunay Harlequin Opal Necklace. The pure magnificence of this opal could only be trusted to Henry Dunay, a man who understands the raw beauty of such a large 34.2 carat opal. The opal shines iridescent, blue, white and orange with hues of red and is surrounded by 496 white diamonds on its edge, totaling 9.68 carats. This grand haute couture opal is gracefully displayed on a 20 inch 18 carat polished gold chain in seeming "bamboo" style with a diamond encrusted bail.

When considering how best to show off the grand opal, Henry Dunay envisioned the natural beauty on which it would be displayed - a gorgeous female. From here, he chose the gold chain and the sparkling diamonds to complement the fine opal. In this one piece, he has really demonstrated his genuine talent for further bringing out the beauty already inherent in such a gorgeous piece. In addition, for a man who is accostomed to working with gold, he has fashioned an incredibly breathtaking opal pendant necklace, proving his range of skills reaches far beyond that from which is seen normally. He is completely capable of creating equally impressive and elegant pieces with other kinds of materials. This is truly a unique piece and a unique opportunity to own a large opal in its un-cut and unaltered state. For more information, please visit the Neiman Marcus site.
