This artisan ring is handmade using traditional silversmithing techniques in my jewelry studio in Canada. It was designed to feature a black Australian opal cabochon that I cut and polished. This stone is 100% natural and displays a variety of very striking green and blues that dance across the stone. It was mined in lightning ridge, famed for its high quality opals. The accent stone is a very bright red ruby adding a lot of drama to this design. The sterling silver band was brought to a high polish and is comfortable to wear. Please send me a message if you have any questions!

Precious opal is highly valued for its prismatic play of colour, a unique optical property which creates rainbows trapped within. The rarest and most coveted color is red, followed by orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. Brilliance, brightness, strength, pattern, body color, and color direction all determine a stones value. The rarest form of Australian opal is black opal, commanding the highest value and prized by collectors. Each opal has its own personality and no two are the same. Choose a stone with colours that speak to you, individual tastes play a big part in selecting the right one.
Opal has been associated with love, passion, desire and eroticism. It is a seductive stone, intensifying emotional states and releasing inhibitions. Wearing an opal is said to bring about loyalty and faithfulness while stimulating originality and dynamic creativity. It aids in accessing one’s true self, finding answers, and helps you to understand your full potential.
Opal amplifies traits, whether those traits are good or bad, and brings characteristics to the surface for transformation. It enhances self worth, confidence and self-esteem. It also brings lightness and spontaneity. It can help you to pick up thoughts and feelings, amplify and return them to their source. It is a karmic stone and encourages positive emotions. It teaches that what you put out comes back to you, and is a protective stone in dangerous places
