What Makes It Special
Ethiopian opals are known for their exceptional color play, and this stone delivers. The bright green and blue flashes have an almost neon quality that's striking in person. The color appears to float beneath the surface and shifts as you move your hand. The bezel setting sits slightly raised, which protects the stone while also allowing light to hit it from multiple angles. The wider band (3mm) gives the ring stability and presence—it feels substantial without being heavy.
Perfect For Your Lifestyle
At 8mm, this stone has real presence on your hand without being so large it catches on everything. The smooth bezel design is comfortable for all-day wear—no prongs to snag on sweaters or gloves. The wider band distributes weight evenly, so it doesn't spin or twist. This works as a statement piece worn solo or alongside simpler bands if you like to stack. The polished finish catches light beautifully but is easy to maintain.
About Ethiopian Opal
Ethiopian opals are hydrophane, meaning they can temporarily absorb water and change appearance when wet—this is a natural characteristic, not a flaw. When the stone is completely dry, it shows its full vibrant color. These opals are known for having some of the most vivid play-of-color of any opal variety. Each stone's pattern is completely unique and will never be replicated.
Care & Longevity
Sterling silver maintains its finish with occasional polishing. Because Ethiopian opals are hydrophane, remove the ring before washing hands, swimming, showering, or applying lotions. If the stone does get wet and appears cloudy, simply let it dry completely (usually 24-48 hours) and the color will return. The deep bezel setting protects the stone's edges during everyday wear. With mindful care, this ring will last for years.
Sizing Note
This ring is a size 8 and cannot be resized due to the bezel setting design.
