Welo Opal Ring Teardrop Cabochon Size 14 in 950 Silver | Rocas & Cristales

Exclusivity & Design: A legendary gemstone in an unrepeatable artisan jewelry setting. This ring — hand-crafted in high-purity 950 silver at the Rocas & Cristales studio in Córdoba, Argentina — houses an Ethiopian Welo opal in its most iconic form: a teardrop cabochon that maximizes the display of the optical phenomenon that makes this natural gemstone one of the most extraordinary on earth. Size 14. A wholly unique, unrepeatable piece.

Aesthetic Details: The Ethiopian Welo opal displays its play-of-color — the iridescent internal dance that shifts with every viewing angle — at an intensity no other natural gemstone can match. In the teardrop cabochon, this chromatic spectacle becomes movement: reds, greens, blues, and golds emerge and disappear with the slightest turn of the hand. 950 silver, with its greater purity over standard 925, delivers a surface finish that amplifies the ethereal beauty of this exceptional stone.

Guarantee & Shipping: Handmade in Córdoba, Argentina by certified goldsmith Gonzalo Martínez. Every piece comes with a lifetime stone-setting adjustment guarantee. Payment via PayPal. Ships worldwide via DHL with complimentary shipping on every order.

About Welo Opal: Welo opal comes from the Welo (Wollo) region of Ethiopia — only discovered as a major gemological source in 2008, making it one of the most exciting recent finds in the world of collector minerals. Unlike Australian opal, Welo opal is hydrophane in nature: it can temporarily absorb water, and its internal colors are especially vivid thanks to its amorphous silica structure organized in microspheres that diffract light into the spectacle known as play-of-color. Energetically linked to the sacral chakra (Svadhisthana) and crown chakra (Sahasrara), Welo opal promotes creativity, emotional expression, elevated intuition, and spiritual connection. Origin: Ethiopia (Welo region). Zodiac: Capricorn.
