This stunning natural beauty is made from an iridescent, uncut/unpolished (i.e., "raw) Australian Boulder Opal that has been shaped into a shield or semi-circle. The stunning display of colors - purples, greens, turquouise, blue, and even pink, sit atop the natural "boulder" matrix of the stone. It is set in a 14k gold-fill bezel which creates a warm hug for the stone. The band is equally special - made from a chunky piece of half-round sterling silver that has been sawn to create the appearance of birch bark, measuring ~8 mm. The ring has been darkened to bring out the details, and buffed to a soft finish.

Size 8 - note that wide rings tend to fit slightly smaller than their true size

Metaphysical properties: Opal is thought by some to be an emotional amplifier, aura prism, and stone of transformation. Among its core metaphysical properties are emotional amplification (acting as a mirror or prism, bringing hidden or suppressed feelings to the surface, allowing for greater honesty), creativity and magination (clearing creative blocks, sparking inspiration, and encouraging out-of-the-box thinking), and spiritual connection (linking lower physical self to higher realms, frequently working with the Crown Chakra for spiritual awareness and the Heart Chakra for emotional healing). Some also suggest, due to its high water content, that opal is beneficial for hydration, balancing the body's internal water flow and supporting eye health.

A Note About My Jewelry


I create powerful, unique, and sacred adornment crafted from Earth's finest gifts. All of my jewelry is hand-made and hand-finished, from natural and often recycled or repurposed materials. I try to use every bit of metal on my bench and not let anything go to waste. In this way, all my pieces are somehow related - melted, remelted, cut, recut, weaving together so many stories being told through the jewelry. No two items are exactly alike and my pieces will have natural imperfections - I believe it is these slight imperfections that give hand fabricated items their soulful character and appeal.
