This Ethiopian opal ring features two stones with distinctly different personalities: one showing vivid green and orange fire, the other a deeper emerald tone. The open design between the stones allows for slight adjustment, so you can fine-tune the fit throughout the day.
Product Specifications:
Ethiopian opals are known for their vivid play-of-color, and this ring showcases exactly why. The larger oval stone displays bright green, orange, and yellow flashes, while the smaller round stone shows deeper green tones. The contrast between the two creates visual interest. The open design between the stones isn't just aesthetic, it allows you to gently squeeze or expand the band for a more customized fit, which is helpful on days when your fingers swell or shrink slightly.
The two-stone design is eye-catching without being bulky. At roughly 8mm for the larger stone, it's substantial enough to notice but won't catch on things during everyday activities. The adjustable feature means you can wear it comfortably whether you're working on your laptop, doing yoga, or out for dinner. The simple band keeps the focus on the stones and won't compete with other rings if you like to stack.
Ethiopian opals are relatively new to the market (discovered in the 1990s) and are known for their exceptional color play. Unlike boulder opal, these are hydrophane opals, meaning they can absorb water and temporarily change appearance when wet—this is normal and reversible. The stones show their best color when completely dry. Each opal has its own unique pattern that will never be replicated.
Sterling silver maintains its finish with occasional polishing. Because Ethiopian opals are hydrophane, remove the ring before washing hands, swimming, or applying lotions. If the stones do get wet, they may appear cloudy temporarily but will return to their vibrant state once dried. The prong settings protect the stones during everyday wear. With mindful care, this ring will last for years.
Select your true ring size. The adjustable feature is meant for minor comfort adjustments (about a quarter size), not to replace proper sizing.
