Why have I chosen to hand cut our Gemstones:

Gemstone material that has not been extensively cut and polished is referred to as "Rough".

Rough material that has been hammered to knocked off the brittle fractured edges is said to have been cobbled.

So, what I have chosen to do is remove the brittle fractures by hand polishing our rough gemstones in our studio here in North Carolina and allowing a longer lifespan of the stone for our customers. A stone that has been hand cut is a stronger stone and in my opinion a safer stone to have.

To keep the integrity of the rough gemstones, we only remove the brittle edges and keep true to the unique shape of the original rough gemstone. This way we can create a beautiful artistically cut gemstone that is still Cruelty-Free but very unique in shape.

This is my way of giving you a true one-of-a-kind hand sculpted and hand cut ring.

Your ring will come with ring box and small ring tote.

●●●6 Useful Tips For Caring For Opal Jewelry●●●

1- The Hardness Of Opals Varies From 5.5 To 6.5 Mohs, Which Makes Them A Soft Gemstone. You Can Put Them Away While Working In Rigorous Conditions Or While Handling Harsh Chemicals. This Way You Can Avoid Scratches And Cracks From Developing On These Colorful Beauties.

2- Opals Are Delicate Gemstones And Have About 20% To 30% Of Water Trapped In Them. Intense Heat And Light Can Cause ‘Crazing’ Or Fracture Lines On Them. They Are Sensitive To Extreme And Sudden Changes In Temperatures. Also, When You Store Your Opals, Keep Them Wrapped In A Damp Cloth Or With A Wet Piece Of Cotton To Avoid Dehydration.

3- It Is Best To Wear Your Opals More Often If You Want Them To Be Looking Beautiful For Years To Come. Exposing Opals To The Humidity In The Air And The Moisture In Your Body Will Keep Them Hydrated And Preserve The Stunning Colors Within.

4- You Can Choose Opal Earrings And Pendants To Wear Daily And Keep Opal Rings For Occasions. A Bezel Setting Will Be More Suitable For An Opal Ring If You Are Going To Wear It Every Day.

5- Cleaning Opal Jewelry Is Recommended Every Four To Five Months And You Can Do It At The Convenience Of Your Home. You Can Use A Mild Detergent And Warm Water To Loosen Out The Accumulated Dirt And Clean The Jewelry With A Soft Brush Or A Cloth. However, Avoid Using The Brush On The Surface Of The Gemstone.

6- Avoid The Use Of Bleach, Harsh Cleaning Solutions And Chemicals On Opals. They Cannot Withstand Caustic Alkaline Solutions And Hydrofluoric Acid. Also, You Will End Up Damaging Opals If You Clean Them In An Ultrasonic Cleaner. Occasionally, You Can Take Your Opal Jewelry To A Professional Jeweler For Re-Polishing So As To Maintain Its Luster.
