Gardens of the Sun

She’s like quicksand, baby. Earthy and gritty, and twisting with an unpredictable mood. If you gaze closely, you’ll see it – the eye of her storm, swirling with wildness but laced with brittle splinters.

Custom Australian Opal Ring set in 18 karat yellow gold featuring a diamond side stone. Completely unique and one of a kind. Each opal is a solid, natural opal and has been responsibly sourced from Australia.

Opal is the October birthstone. Flashes of colour dancing in a glimmering stone, there’s not much that needs to be said about its beauty. This gemstone is as versatile as it is colourful – use it for playfulness and strength, tenderness and truth, to amplify your karma and keep your cool all at once.

Opal absorbs and reflects light as it dances, and likewise, it picks up thoughts and feelings, desires and buried emotions, amplifying them and returning them to the source. Opal helps you to let go of patterns of fear, anger, negativity and self-harm. If you need to let go of the one who doesn’t deserve you, have faith in Opal and this too shall pass.

With a hardness of 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, opal is a softer gemstone. This means that opal can easily be scratched, even by dust particles. High heat and sudden temperature changes can cause opal to crack. Because opals are porous you should avoid contact with chemicals, cosmetics and household cleaners while wearing your opal. Don’t wear your opal jewellery during physical activity, like sports or gardening. The only safe way to clean opal is with warm, soapy water.

This ring is available now at Barefaced Bridal.
