Bright Boulder Opal Ring in 18k Gold and Sterling
I recently came across some very colorful and sparkly boulder opals and I made the brightest into rings. This one is super sparkly in person and has flashes of all the colors of the rainbow. I set it horizontally across the finger, in an 18k gold bezel with a small 18k ball off to one side. It is set on a narrow, but heavy sterling silver band. It's so pretty - you'll have a hard time not being mesmerized by it all day!
***Boulder opal is found in the desert of Queensland, Australia. It forms in cracks or as a coating on the surface of sandstone or ironstone. It is thought to assist in emotional and mental balance and can help alleviate depression. Opal is believed to channel a protective energy and can benefit all chakras. It is one of the birthstones for October.***
Currently a size 7, this ring can be sized up to a 7.5. It cannot be sized down. :O)
Made with love in my Sonoran Desert studio. xo
