About WELO OPALS

'Ethiopian Welo/Wello Opal is a relatively new find and has rapidly gained popularity. It has some of the most amazing patterns of any opal, and plays of color that reflect shades of light seen nowhere else in the natural world. Anybody who loves opals I would urge to give this gem a chance. It is easy to become mesmerized by its unique beauty. Because of the hydrophane property of this opal it can become crystal clear when saturated in water and as it dries it will turn completely opaque, and then slowly return to a crystal/ semi-crystal state as it completely dries out which can take anywhere from a few days to several months. Over that time you can watch the opal slowly reveal new patterns or plays of color, sometimes gaining colors, and sometimes colors change or fade away. Because opal is not one of the hardest stones, ( only six on the scale of 10,) it is not recommended to be worn everyday, in the form of a ring, and NEVER put your hands in bleach or harsh detergent when wearing your ring. This will, most likely, cause permanent damage. And, don't forget, most swimming pools water is filtered with chlorine, (bleach.) to kill bacteria, which is not friendly to any jewelry.

Please read return policies before making a purchase. An informed buyer is a happy shopper. And if an issue arises, please make CONTACT thru the shop's Etsy-mail, so we can try to resolve it, before leaving a nasty review. Thank You.

Please be aware, this shop does NO RESIZING of rings, but now some rings are adjustable, and most are resizable by your local silver smith or jeweler.

Unfortunately, the photography doesn't capture the natural beauty, color and sparkle of many of the gemstones and crystals, (especially the opals,) but when you see them in person, you will not be disappointed by Mother Nature.
