AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Set of 10 natural white Welo opal cabochons. High-quality setting on 925 silver, with yellow gold plating.
Provenance: Welo region, worldwide 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 enhances 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 cleaners, to prevent irreversible internal microcracks.
Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of quickly changing its appearance according to the intensity and nature of the light that illuminates it. Depending on the brightness, one can see multicolored flashes or simply a milky base. This is where the magic of this stone lies.

1. Secure shipping with tracking number.
2. Shipped twice a week. For Europe and international destinations, delivery can 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 selected with care, but as these are natural and artisanal products, they may sometimes show small imperfections.
4. The stated size includes the bail. The chain in the photos is not part of the sale; it is a display accessory. Real photos, you will receive the pendant you see.
5. Please note: The stones have changing reflections depending on the light, indoor lighting, or sunlight. The photos were taken indoors with appropriate lighting and outdoors in natural light when the weather allows. I always try to reproduce the natural colors of the stone as faithfully as possible.
6. Please look carefully at the photos; they are part of the description. You are buying what you see.
Happy bidding.
