Each of our unique lab grown opals are designed for increased durability and enhanced colors. They sand to a high polish and cut smoothly on a lathe. Opals range from 0.5-2mm in size and are perfect for any ring.
Colors are offered in 1 gram, 3 gram, and 5 gram packs.
Depending on the specific size, width, and design of each ring, one gram can fill up to 5 rings.
Why do we have a "wet vs dry" image for each opal? Opals are able to reflect light in an amazing way, which gives them that classic shimmer. This effect is compounded when the opals are encased in a glossy medium. The "wet vs dry" image is meant to give an insight into how the opal may appear when encased in a fully polished ring.
Opals are slightly translucent so whatever background is behind the opal, can affect to overall look of the opal. (dark background = slightly darkened opal : light background = slightly lightened opal)
If you are looking to enhance the color of the opal further, we recommend using our enamel paints and/or color powders to create a backdrop that makes the color pop.
