Introducing the "Luminous Opal Essence Gold-Plated Sterling Silver Ring" from The Stonery, where the warmth of gold meets the cool allure of sterling silver. This ring is a showcase of balanced contrasts, featuring a gold-plated finish that exudes a rich warmth atop the solid strength of sterling silver.
With a ring band measuring 2.5 mm in thickness and 5 mm in width, this piece is designed for durability and a substantial feel. The ring's surface is textured, providing a tactile experience that enhances its handcrafted appeal.
The bezel setting is ingeniously waved, a design choice that not only secures the opal but also allows for an abundance of light to interact with the stone, emphasizing its iridescent beauty. Below this, the silver plate is meticulously crafted with cut-outs, enhancing the piece's design and allowing for an energetic exchange between the crystal and its wearer.
The ring's size versatility is remarkable, comfortably adjusting from a US size 5 to 12 without compromising its form or function, allowing the wearer to choose which finger to adorn with this striking piece.
Despite its robust silver body and the added layer of gold plating, the ring maintains a comfortable fit. Its heavy-duty construction is ingeniously paired with an adjustable band that secures firmly around the finger, ensuring that the ring's beauty can be enjoyed without sacrifice to comfort.
At its heart, this piece showcases a captivating opal, known for its dynamic play of color and depth. The opal is the centerpiece of this design, reflecting The Stonery's commitment to creating jewelry that is not only visually stunning but also holds a deeper, more intrinsic value.
The "Luminous Opal Essence Gold-Plated Sterling Silver Ring" stands as a testament to The Stonery's ethos of crafting pieces that are meant to be cherished for generations—jewelry that is not only worn but also experienced. It's an exquisite addition for those who seek a touch of luxury and the enduring beauty of opal set within a unique, adjustable design.

Opal
Classification: Mineraloid
Chemical Composition: SiO2·nH2O (Hydrated Silicon Dioxide)
Hardness: 5.5–6.5 on the Mohs scale
Source: Mainly found in Australia, with other notable sources including Ethiopia, Mexico, Brazil, and the United States.

Associations:
Element: Water
Planet: Neptune, Venus
Zodiac Signs: Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Pisces
Chakra: Typically associated with the Crown Chakra, but can align with different chakras depending on the color of the opal.
Geological Properties:
Opals are well-known for their unique display of flashing rainbow colors known as 'play-of-color.' This phenomenon is due to the diffraction of light by silica spheres within the structure of the opal. Opals can be found in a range of colors and types, from the fiery red and orange of fire opals to the vivid play-of-color in black opals.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Opals are considered stones of inspiration which can enhance imagination and creativity. They are also associated with emotional expression, amplifying and mirroring feelings, and revealing one's emotional state. Some believe opals can pick up on the thoughts and feelings of others, enhancing empathy and emotional understanding.
Collectibility and Use:
Opals are a popular choice for jewelry due to their unique beauty. They are often cut and polished into cabochons to best display their color play, and are used in all types of jewelry, from rings and necklaces to brooches and earrings.
Care and Maintenance:
Opals require special care because they can be quite delicate. They should be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth and should not be exposed to harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Avoid dramatic temperature changes and dry conditions which can cause opals to crack, a phenomenon known as 'crazing.'

Gold-Plated Jewelry Care Instructions
-- Avoid getting any fragrance on your jewelry, putting on your pieces after you've sprayed any perfume to avoid it interacting with the metal.
-- Wait to put your jewelry on until your moisturizer is absorbed.
-- Do not wear your gold-plated jewelry while exercising, swimming, or showering.
-- Wipe your jewelry gently after wearing it with a very soft cloth or cotton ball to remove the buildup of dust or dirt.
-- If possible, keep it stored in a zipper bag away from the sun when not wearing to extend its life and reduce premature tarnishing or fading.
