Discuss a custom piece

A teardrop of Australian boulder opal, its fire veined through natural ironstone, is set as the singular focus of a ring that feels like a landscape in miniature.

Australian boulder opal forms in thin veins within ironstone, so each stone holds flashes of color set against its own natural host rock. It is a signature found only in the opal fields of Queensland.

Made by hand in our Los Angeles studio from hand-selected natural stones, this is a true one-of-one. Its stones, setting and finish exist in this exact form only once.

  • Metal: Solid .925 sterling silver
  • Setting: Hand-set

Care

  • Put your jewelry on last, after lotion, perfume and hairspray, and take it off first.
  • Remove before showering, swimming, exercising or cleaning. Chlorine, salt water and sweat dull metal and stones.
  • Sterling silver naturally develops a patina over time. Restore its brightness with a silver polishing cloth.
  • Opal is delicate. Avoid prolonged water exposure, harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes.
  • Never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
  • Store it in its presentation box, in a cool, dry place, to prevent scratches and tarnish.

One of one. Once sold, this exact piece will not be remade.
