Four absolutely unbelievable welo opals have been set atop a beautifully heavy copper electroformed band. These stones are all raw, just as mother nature made them, so there will be slight variations and differences between pieces.
Associated with the throat chakra, Ethiopian Welo Opal is mystically known as a stone of courage and ingenuity. It is said to improve self-esteem and self-love. It is also said to be an aid to creativity and communication of all types. And it helps one find confidence.
Electroforming is the process of building up copper deposits on any object. The process can be very slow and it almost has a mind of its own. Sometimes there are striations in the copper, sometimes pits, sometimes there are little copper spheres. The results are always beautiful and unexpected making each piece entirely unique. Each piece had been cleaned up by hand and finished in the tumbler. The copper is absolutely raw... no added chemicals or sealants.
Each stone and ring is unique, just like you are. These opals are RAW opals, emphasis on "raw" so be aware these are not going to be perfectly polished and smooth, imperfections will be present in some stones, just like mother nature made them, which means no two rings will look alike, so allow for variations between rings :) And your ring will come in a little box with the stone's properties included. Opals are delicate and take a bit extra time on our end and a bit extra care on yours :)
How to care for your electroformed jewelry:
To maintain the finish as long as possible, avoid prolonged exposure to water as well as harsh chemicals. The copper will oxidize and darken over time giving it a warm deep finish. This is natural and every oxidation is unique to the person who wears it and the environment in which they live. The copper grows with you. You can bring back the original sheen by gently rubbing it with a soft polish cloth. Greening may happen. It doesn't happen to everyone. I leave the metals raw to avoid causing any reactions to additional chemicals, but if you prefer the metal can be sealed with an aftermarket sealant or renaissance wax.

Rings:
To maintain the finish as long as possible, avoid prolonged exposure to water as well as harsh chemicals. The copper will oxidize and darken over time giving it a warm deep finish. This is natural and every oxidation is unique to the person who wears it and the environment in which they live. Bring back the original sheen by gently rubbing it with a soft polish cloth. Greening may happen. It doesn't happen to everyone. I leave the metals raw to avoid causing any skin reactions
Cuffs:
The black in the lettering may fade. To refresh, simply use sharpie and wipe off any excess. To bring your cuff back to its original sheen, rub it with a sunshine cloth or fine steel wool
Keep your mala in a safe place. Don’t store it in your pocket.
The stones and seeds of your mala store energy. You can cleanse the energy of your mala from time to time by laying in sunlight or moonlight as a sort of refresher. Or you can purify your mala by chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” five times. If you love the energy your mala is giving off no action is necessary.
Do not expose the mala to water. Only exception being when reshaping the tassel you can wet just the tassel, shape it how you like and let dry.
When a mala breaks, it means that you have moved beyond the lesson the mala represented and it is time for a new one. However, if you pay for shipping I will gladly restring it for you free of charge!
Once you have purchased a listing you can absolutely see the ring, we can take photos of options for you. However we cannot photograph just the stones before they are set for many reasons.
You can also specify what style of ring you wanted as well e.g. round, square, light, dark, milky, etc. We will try to match it as closely as possible.
When inquiring about a listing please include a link and your size. We will try as best as we can to ship it out in time, but as you are aware, once USPS gets their hands on it we are unable to control that segment of the journey, especially for international orders.
Also many of the pieces are time intensive and may take up to two weeks to make before shipping. When in doubt, ask us :)
No.
Mail fraud is bad, and so are you if you ask us :(
I like to think of copper as a living metal. It responds in almost real time to anything applied to it, lotion, soap, hand sanitizer, your skin's p.H.; it reacts. Just think of the Statue of Liberty. That wonderful lady is copper. At one point, she was the shiny rosy color, and over the years with sea water, and weather she darkened, then turned green. The color completely changed.
This is not a bad thing. Copper will grow with you. You can either love it as you wear it and it slowly darkens. Or care for it and be mindful not to shower or swim with your earring and necklaces, and wash dishes, wash your hands, or apply hand lotion while wearing your rings. These are the basic recommendations for all jewelry by the way, regardless of metal.
Short answer- probably not, especially custom jewelry. Handmade, real handmade, takes time.
Long answer- reach out with the listing link and the size you need. If we have it in stock it will ship much more quickly!

This ring is lovely! I ended up needing to do an exchange smaller, which was totally fine, and the replacement looked just as lovely as the original. Arrived quickly, and I've been wear it every day. Andrea is an awesome artist!
