Round Ethiopian Welo Opal Sterling Silver Ring with hand hammered bark-like textured band size 9. From a family owned business in Africa, these opals are tracked from mine to gem show lending confidence in their quality and craftsmanship. The band is hand textured and asymmetrical, creating a comfortable and unique ring. This high-domed opal is truly "opalescent," gracing us with a flashy range of hues from blue-green to golden-yellows and everything in between.
The stone is a 9mm round; the band at its widest is 9mm.
Lynde Howe Silverworks takes pride in crafting timeless, high-quality wearable art that can be passed down for generations. Each piece is carefully "wear tested" to ensure both comfort and exceptional design. Traditional metalsmithing techniques, including forging, forming, and soldering, are used to create each handmade creation. From start to finish, I put my heart and soul into every item, often using recycled materials to add an extra touch of sustainability. While each piece is unique, I occasionally offer small collections of similar designs. My signature mark is a symbol of my passion and dedication to handcrafting each piece. Please note that handmade items may have slight variations or imperfections, but that only adds character and charm to the finished product. With time, sterling silver may develop a natural patina, which I believe only adds to the beauty and texture of the piece. To maintain its shine, a gentle polish with a cloth is recommended. As a special touch, I include a polishing pad with every order.
