This handcrafted ring is a piece from the Aurora collection, inspired by all the shimmering crystals that evoke images of twilight skies, the wings of faeries and rainbows that fill my garden after a sunshower. This particular design features a beautiful solid Australian Crystal Opal, with delicate flashes of colour that sparkle when the light hits the stone. Like all my work, this ring is a complete one of a kind, made using recycled silver, cruelty-free materials, ethically sourced crystals and environmentally friendly methods.
I have created this ring in a size 9 1/2 (Australian size S 1/2).

💎OPAL LORE:
The Roman historian, Pliny the Elder described the Opal as a precious stone containing the fire of a Garnet, the resplendent purple of the Amethyst, and the sea-green glory of the Emerald. In Ancient times Opal was considered to be the most magical and mysterious gemstone, able to heal the body, provide luck, and strengthen the mind.
Opals help to calm their wearers, easing stress and depression. They are helpful with issues with anxiety, restless thoughts and racing minds, as they center the mind and promote positive dreams. As well as this, Opals are a wonderful protection stone, shielding the wearer from other people's negative thoughts and energies. It is thought to be greatly beneficial when venturing into dangerous places.
Opals are also very seductive stones, associated with love, desire and passion.
