Adjustable 925‑silver ring featuring Ethiopian Welo opal with intense colors from the Welo region of Ethiopia.
Description from the seller
This natural cabochon displays a palette of colors with remarkable intensity: electric green flashes, emerald, yellow, and red burst against a golden background speckled with flashes that shift with every angle of light. The colors are vivid and contrasted, a signature of the most expressive Welo opals.
Provenance: Welo Region, a world reference for opal since the 2000s.
Lithotherapy: A stone of creativity and emotion, opal is associated with the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. It amplifies artistic expression, fosters spontaneity, and invites embracing change with lightness.
Care: Welo opal is a hydrophane stone; it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes, and household products, to prevent irreversible internal microfissures.
The Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance according to the intensity and nature of the light that illuminates it. Depending on brightness, you can see multicolored flames or simply a pale, milky base.

1. Secure shipping with tracking number.
2. Dispatch twice a week. For Europe and international destinations, delivery time may vary from 8 to 15 days depending on the destination and customs clearance times at the borders.
3. All my stones are genuine, with no color treatment, resin, or plastic. They have all been carefully selected, but as they are natural and artisanal products, they may sometimes show small imperfections.
4. The photos were taken with lighting adjusted to faithfully reproduce the stone’s natural colors.
5. Unlike an industrial piece, an artisanal jewelry piece in stone and silver made by hand, even of high quality, may show slight marks or traces that attest to its authenticity.
6. Please examine the photographs carefully; they are an integral part of the description.
Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.
