This 1-inch Opalite bullet pendant combines sleek geometry with soft luminescence.

The pointed “bullet” shape represents clarity and direction, while the silver chain offers a refined, minimalist balance to its radiant sheen.
Opalite is a man-made silicate glass designed to emulate the glow and translucence of natural opal. It is composed primarily of silica (SiO₂) blended with metal oxides that produce its characteristic shifting colors — soft blues, creams, and subtle lilac tones under changing light. Though synthetic, it remains a celebrated material in lapidary art for its optical purity and symbolic luminosity.

Originally developed by glass artisans to mirror the captivating play-of-light of natural opal, Opalite soon became an artistic and spiritual favorite. The bullet pendant design draws inspiration from early 20th-century amulets and modern minimalist jewelry — a perfect union of strength and serenity.
In Taylor Swift’s 2025 album The Life of a Showgirl, the third track “Opalite” shines as a lyrical ode to transformation and crafted light. Swift describes the gem as “proof that even man-made beauty can be real,” framing Opalite as a metaphor for resilience, artistry, and reinvention.
The line “from onyx night to opalite sky” evokes emerging from darkness into clarity — a perfect parallel for this pendant’s smooth transition of hues. Fans and collectors alike have embraced Opalite as a symbol of self-made radiance and emotional balance — an idea Swift has connected to her evolution as both a woman and artist.
Each Opalite bullet pendant exhibits a glowing blue-white transparency that intensifies in natural light. The polished termination and even color zoning make it an elegant display of craftsmanship and optical depth. The included 18-inch silver chain complements its minimalist style and subtle luminescence.
Opalite is often associated with clarity, transition, and open communication. It’s said to calm the mind while enhancing intuition and self-expression — qualities reflected in both its form and light-play.
Clean gently with a soft cloth and warm water. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, chemical dips, or prolonged sunlight exposure to maintain the stone’s pristine glow and chain finish.
