Flashy Ethiopian Opal set in all 14k gold, this classic ring is perfect for October birthday ladies or just for someone who loves opals. Set in a classic bezel setting with a 14k twisted wire edge, this opal measures 11mm by 8mm and this ring is a size 7. If this is not the size you are looking for, I do have a collection of other similarly flashy opals in ovals, rounds and even a soft triangle.

Opals begin as a mixture of silicon dioxide and water. When fresh water (from rain or streams) runs down over sandstone, it picks up silica from the sandstone. This silica and water solution finds its way into cracks and crevices. When the water eventually evaporates, only the silica is left and an opal is created. The process, although seemingly simple, takes millions of years to create one opal. Opals are all one of a kind and each captures their own beauty. Opals are about 5-6 on the Moh's scale of hardness which is about the same hardness as glass. Care should be taken so they are not scratched by accident. To protect their beauty, they should not be stored in direct sunlight and should also be removed when showering or swimming because they can be affected by soaps, detergents and other chemicals. It's safest to keep opals dry. Never put opals in an ultrasonic cleaner or a steam cleaner. With some care, they will become a treasured heirloom.
