The substantial weight of textured gold against your finger, anchoring a wide oval of black opal that holds depths of midnight blue within its darkness. Like gazing into deep ocean waters at twilight, this stone reveals its secrets slowly—iridescent blue swirls emerging from the darkness, then disappearing again as if pulled by invisible currents.

Description

This moody ring doesn't announce itself—it reveals itself to those who take time to look. When you wear it, you carry a piece of Australia's most coveted gem, transformed by geological forces into something unrepeatable. It becomes a quiet reminder of depth and mystery, a personal talisman that grounds you while connecting you to something larger than yourself.

This ring begins with a single, unrepeatable black opal, chosen not for immediate brilliance but for depth and character. This particular stone—with its dark base and mysterious swirls of iridescent blue—determined how the piece would take shape. The 9K gold setting with its squared profile and hand-hammered texture provides a warm contrast to the cool tones of the opal while adding a tactile element that invites touch.

Made slowly by hand at my bench, this ring celebrates the beauty of depth and mystery—the way some treasures reveal themselves only over time and with changing light. It's for someone who appreciates jewellery with substance and story, pieces that feel personally connected to both the earth and the wearer.

Ring Sizing

RING SIZING

If you have a ring that is the size you are after the easiest thing to do is measure the ring against a ruler to get the inside diameter. The important thing is to measure the INSIDE of the ring as per in the photo below. The thickness of rings varies so it is the inside diameter we are looking for.

Once you have the inside diameter refer to the below chart to find your size.

Inside Diameter	US Sizes	Australian Sizes
14.86 mm	4	H 1/2

My standard sizes are:

Extra Small 5.5cm diameter

As all of my rings are hand made there will always be a slight variation in sizing due to each individual design. I do endeavour to ensure that my sizing is as accurate as possible and I am always happy to make custom sizes that aren't listed as standard options.
