This specific type of opal is the national stone of Peru. This fairly rare opal was named after the country, as the only source found is in the Andes mountains. It was believed Peruvian opals were originally a gift from Pachamama, an early Incan goddess of Earth and time. Peruvian opal does not have the same kind of fiery play of light as other opals, but it does still possess a beautiful iridescent quality. Blue is the most common colour of Peruvian opal, often being compared to that of the Caribbean Sea, and can contain black dendritic inclusions.

Peruvian opal has long been used to release tension and promote free-flowing ideas. According to metaphysical beliefs, Peruvian opal reduces stress and helps the wearer approach the future with a heightened sense of tranquillity.

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
15.27 mm	4 1/2	I 1/2
15.70 mm	5	J 1/2
16.10 mm	5 1/2	L
16.51 mm	6	M

17.35 mm	7	O
17.75 mm	7 1/2	P
18.19 mm	8	Q
18.53 mm	8 1/2	Q 3/4
18.89 mm	9	R 3/4
19.41 mm	9 1/2	S 3/4
19.84 mm	10	T 1/2
20.20 mm	10 1/2	U 1/2

BANGLE SIZING

Inside Diameter

My standard sizes are:

Extra Small 5.5cm diameter

Small: 6cm diameter

Medium: 6.5cm diameter

Large: 7cm 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.
