Description from the seller

This character-rich ring is made of 925 silver and set with a natural Boulder opal from Queensland, Australia.
The gem features a fascinating combination of colors: the warm brown of the iron matrix intertwines with extraordinary violet and electric blue veins, creating a shimmering effect.
The handcrafted frame, with a radiant engraved decoration, further enhances the gem, giving the jewelry an elegant and artisanal appearance.

Main features
Material of the ring: 925 silver
Stone: Natural Boulder Opal
Gem origin: Queensland, Australia
Ring size: 18.5 mm inner diameter (adjustable upon request)
Properties of opal: stimulates creativity, strengthens confidence, and boosts optimism.

Boulder opal gemstones formed approximately 100 million years ago in ancient rock cavities, when silica-rich water penetrated the fissures of the iron sandstone, creating the incredible bursts of color we see today.
For many Australian Aboriginal cultures, opal represented the connection to the 'Dreamtime,' the sacred time of creation.
This ring is a one-of-a-kind piece, perfect for those who desire jewelry that combines strength, history, and natural beauty.
