    Jesus christ that's a nice ring, and I like it's simple design. I'm assuming the opal is lab grown. How much was it for that chunk? I feel that inset stones on some rings might bring up its material cost, but nothing really stands out like a minimalistic design that puts the beauty of the material in the spotlight.

    • @TempestRings
      @TempestRings  5 років тому +31

( but that is only if that is true, but opals naturally can not have that compact and uniform colouration. If you ever see an opal where the internal structure seems like they are pressed against each other it is synthetic. Natural Opal will have gaps between the coloration. It is a good tip so you dont get ripped off when buying jewelry)

They are only a 5.5 to 6.5 on the hardness scale and just dropping a opal from a few inches up onto say concrete could very well break. There are big chunks of opal you can get for relatively cheap if the color isn't all that.

It was 1st. synthesized by "General Electric" in their Labs back in the early 60's. Moissanite is "naturally" occurring silicon carbide, used as a diamond "simulant," thought nat. occurring its refractive indices and specific gravity are close to that of diamonds. And has fooled many when introduced to the jewelry trade initially. And finally CZ's are also man-made simulants but have a much higher refractive index than diamonds and to the gemologist quite EZ to identify.

    That type of opal is synthetic. Trying to do that with natural opal would be disastrous. Natural opal is too soft and would probably disintegrate and cost for an opal rough that size would be in the 7 figures. Don't get me wrong, I think this ring is beautiful. but it is man made.

You could try aluminum oxide (synthetic sapphire), zirconium ceramic, or Medical grade Titanium as ring material, all of which are not only 100% hypoallergenic, which silicone is not (even though they say it is). They are all extremely low molecular transfer materials as well. If you have tried any if those, or do try them and still have a reaction, my original assertion would be fully supported. Good luck. I don't wear rings because I use my hands for work too much and they wind up hurting my fingers. I'd try silicone but I hate that silicone texture.
