Electric Love Ring, is made with the most incredibly digital like patterned blue Australian opal doublet paired with two purple amethyst stones and two neon blue Apatite stones.

This ring is absolutely amazing, I’m in awe of the electric blue colors shooting off the opal. 💙 I’ve kept this opal for about 6 years and finally made this stunner of a ring with it. It deserves to be loved and adored by you.

Electric Love Ring | Australian Opal is a size 6 1/2
Sterling Silver setting

Opals have different colors and vibrancy in different lights. Sunlight, incandescent and led lights change its viewable colors!

I suggest taking your Opals into the sun to view its colors. Then taking in inside under your other lights and view the difference! It’s so amazing to watch Opals change right before your eyes.

Opal care.
**Opals are not a super soft stone (5.5-6.5 Mohs, **for comparison Turquoise is 5-6). Opal is durable and not commonly prone to cracking. Cracking more or less depends on the cut of the stone and how it was stabilized prior to it being cut. Opals are wonderful gemstones that do not lose any value and are perfect heirloom pieces. Please note that you should always care for your opals, but do not leave them in oil or water. They will not dry out. They are perfectly stable gems that are perfect for everyone. There’s many myths on opals and I’m here to tell you none are true, I hope you enjoy your opal jewelry as much as I do!

What is a doublet?
Almost all of my opals are solid but a few say Opal Doublet. You might be wondering what exactly is an Opal Doublet so let me explain. Opal Doublets are stones partially altered by opal cutters for a number of reasons. The main reasons are to; offer beautiful looking stones at more affordable prices, to alter shapes to fit jewellery settings better and to make expensive stones that would normally only make 1 piece of jewellery into many pieces of jewellery. Doublets consist of two layers (Opal and The backing) which are adhered together by glue. Most backing is brown ironstone (found with Boulder opals) or black potch.
Doublets are real opals. Please don’t constantly submerge doublets in water.

Petrified wood is made up of almost solid quartz. The colors are produced by impurities in the quartz, such as iron, carbon, and manganese. Over 200 million years ago, the logs washed into an ancient river system and were rapidly buried deep enough by sediment and debris also carried in the water. Minerals, including silica dissolved from volcanic ash, absorbed into the porous wood over thousands of years crystallized within the cellular structure, replacing organic matter over time.

Beautiful for a display or putting in your window and letting the light sparkle through. Each Amethyst crystal point is shaped by nature, unaided by humankind.

Amethyst is a translucent purple variety of quartz and is the birthstone of February. It was once believed to prevent the wearer from getting drunk, and when engraved with the circle of the sun or moon, it was thought to prevent death from poison. Amethyst is said to be a stone of protection and is used as an aid in meditation. 

This is a natural Amethyst crystal that would look beautiful in the bedroom on your nightstand or placed where the light hits it just right.
