The Galaxie Collection

The Galaxie Collection Jewelry Set is crafted from Australian Crystal Opal as the center and unique material, complemented by 14K white and yellow gold and fine accent stones that highlight the opal’s cosmic play-of-color.

The ring measures 16mm × 12.5mm with a ring size of 16.25mm, and weighs 4.68 grams in total. It features an Australian Crystal Opal measuring 8mm × 6mm.

Each earring measures 12mm × 9.25mm and features an Australian Crystal Opal measuring approximately 6mm × 4mm. The pair weighs 2.86 grams in total.

Each piece was handcrafted using the lost-wax casting technique for precision, followed by hand-setting of opals and accent stones. The process combines modern 3D modeling with traditional goldsmithing to achieve refined detail and perfect balance.

The Galaxie Collection Jewelry Set was created in Hanoi, Vietnam.

The Galaxie Collection Jewelry Set features a black backing that enhances the opal's fire effect.

The Galaxie Collection Jewelry Set won the Silver A' Jewelry Design Award in 2025.

The Crystal Opals in The Galaxie Collection are believed to originate from South Australia, a region celebrated for its bright and stable crystal opals. Each stone was chosen for its optical quality rather than its specific mining site.

There is no specific clarity classification for this opal set. However, “crystal” is one of the recognized classification terms for opal, referring to transparent material with minimal inclusions and vivid internal color play.

Australian Crystal Opal typically has a hardness of around 6 on the Mohs scale, which means it requires gentle handling and protective settings during wear.

Moissanite was used as the accent stones to achieve a consistent brilliance and balanced visual harmony alongside the central opal.

All accent stones are brilliant-cut to achieve optimal light reflection and brilliance, complementing the opal’s natural fire.

The 14K white gold alloy consists primarily of gold and silver, with a small amount of palladium added to increase hardness and achieve a bright white tone.

The 14K yellow gold alloy combines gold, silver, and copper, with a trace of palladium to improve hardness and durability while maintaining a warm golden hue.

The set is plated using a standard electroplating technique, resulting in a thin and even layer of gold that ensures both durability and color consistency.

The jewelry pieces feature a gold-plated surface finish that enhances color uniformity and provides a refined, long-lasting shine.

Each piece in the collection is polished by hand using traditional goldsmith tools and fine polishing compounds, achieving a smooth, high-luster finish that enhances the opal’s natural brilliance.

The design was first created in AutoCAD for structural layout, then converted into Matrix format to finalize the 3D model with precise proportions and visualization details.

The Galaxie Collection Jewelry Set is crafted using the traditional lost-wax casting technique, allowing precise structural formation and refined surface detail before hand finishing.

There are no formal testing protocols for opal settings, but we have extensive experience working with low-hardness gemstones such as pearl, emerald, and peridot, ensuring secure placement and structural stability.

All gold components are stamped with a “14K” assay mark, certifying the metal’s purity according to international jewelry standards.

Each piece first undergoes in-house verification, followed by optional certification at a local gemological laboratory to ensure traceability and accuracy. All information provided is covered by a product warranty.

The metals used are generally hypoallergenic. Only individuals with sensitivities to gold, silver, palladium, or copper may experience mild reactions, as these are the alloy components. The alloys are nickel-safe, ensuring comfort and safety during wear.

Clean the jewelry gently with mild soap and a soft microfiber or cotton cloth. Ultrasonic cleaning or electroplating should only be performed by a professional jeweler to protect the opals and metal finishes.

The set can be safely stored under normal room conditions.

The standard box is crafted from engineered wood and acrylic, while a premium option is in leather for a more refined presentation.

The pendant’s bail can accommodate up to a 2.8 mm round chain or a flat chain up to 8 mm in width.

The recommended chain length is around 450 mm, providing a balanced drop that complements the pendant’s proportions.

The design can be adapted for other cabochon gemstones such as sapphire or ruby. However, these alternatives may not fully preserve the symbolic meaning of the set, which is most authentically expressed through the use of opal.

Each piece bears the “PALOMY” maker’s mark, identifying it as an original design handcrafted by Palomy, founded by designer Hanh Truong.
