Fireball Claw Welo Opal Ring in Size US: 9 or NZ: R ½
Black Fireball Claw Welo Opal Ring in Size US: 9 or NZ: R ½. This was crafted using the lost wax technique and cast in solid sterling silver and set with a very fiery black welo opal. In most lights it looks purple with flashes of red, green and some yellow.
Ethiopian Welo Opal is believed to be an emotional intensifier, enhancing the true nature of those who wear it. Welo opals help increase self-confidence and the ability to accept change, both vital for creating a positive outlook and attracting good luck.
Unlike Australian Opals, they are volcanic in origin and are hydrophane (hydrophillic or water-loving) and will readily absorb water. They will go dull in colour and loose their flash but once dry they’re back to their normal beauty.
The word "hydrophane" has Greek roots that mean "water-loving," meaning naturally adsorbent of water or liquids. Hydrophane opals have the ability to absorb water or liquids, similar to a sponge, resulting in a change of color that may turn the opal translucent yellow or brown and the play-of-color to disappear temporarily. Don't panic though! The color will return once the opal is fully and naturally air-dried.
Keep Your Ethiopian Opal Ring Dry (Key: away from water and liquids): Liquids like perfumes, soaps, and cleaning products.
Avoid Heavy Physical Activities When Wearing Your Opal Ring.
