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

Daily Care
- Opals are soft stones, similar in hardness to glass. To avoid scratches remove your opal jewelry while exercising, working in the garden, doing the dishes, moving furniture, etc. Don't risk damaging your work of art..
- Keep away from chemicals and beauty products, they can degrade the polish over time.
- Solid Australian opal is safe to get wet, while I dont sell them doublets and triplets cannot get wet!
- Pro tip : Wear your rings on a chain or cord on your neck to keep them safe when working with your hands.
- Pro Tip: When getting dressed jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off.
Storage:
- Create a specific home for your opals: Give your jewelry a place that it rests when it's not being worn.
- Store it away from humidity, moisture or extreme temperatures, not on top of the oven or in a sunny window.
- Store each piece of gemstone/diamond jewelry separately so that harder stones don't scratch softer ones. It will help keep it safe from getting damaged and you'll always know where to find it.
Cleaning at home:
Jewellery tends to collect dust in crevices and behind the stone, especially if worn daily.
- A gentle wash and scrub with a soft toothbrush and mild soap is safe for cleaning. Blot dry with a soft cloth.
- A polishing cloth is supplied to keep the metal setting at a high polish
- Do not use comercial chemical jewellery cleaners or ultrasonic cleaners on opals.

All my jewelry settings are handcrafted in response to my hand cut one of a kind gemstones. I aim to do each stone justice by listening to what they want, cutting and crafting a setting to fully showcase it in the jewellery it was always meant to be. You always get a one of a kind art piece for you to wear, born of the earth and crafted especially for you.
