Welo Opal Ring

Size 21 ring, crafted in high-purity 950 silver. The central crystal, a 6 x 4 mm Welo opal, is teardrop-cut and set with prongs. The small cubic zirconia crystals forming the pavé setting add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the ring. The silver band is thin and entirely handmade.

The opal's play of colors is due to the refraction of light within its cristobalite microspheres. In Greek mythology, it was said to have originated from Zeus's tears of joy after his victory over the Titans. In India, it represents the goddess of the rainbow, solidified into stone as she fled from the troublesome gods. Origin: Ethiopia.
