Opal symbolizes confidence, clarity, and calmness and is said to promote faith in oneself and hope for the future. Wear an opal pendant to capture these qualities. Topaz is known as the gem that has the power to improve one’s communication skills. A white topaz pendant may make you a more eloquent and confident speaker. Yellow gold brings out the bronze and golden colors inside a smoky quartz pendant. White gold will highlight the brown and grey tones of the gem. Either way, you can't go wrong.
