Snowstorm • Dendritic Opal Ring

Snowstorm• Dendritic Opal Ring

Well, I'm not sure a cooler stone exists! Found in Peru, these milky opals naturally formed with black inclusions. Just like how no two snowflakes are the same, every Dendritic Opal is completely unique. The inclusions sometimes look like distinct snowflakes, while others look more like a hazy storm, and some look like clean white snow. The stones are a little bigger than our other stackable rings, but for sure small enough to wear as an everyday never-take-it-off type of piece. 

Metaphysically, Dendritic Opal is the stone for discovering your true self and supporting personal growth.

The Process:

It begins with a handmade hammered band, which gives the ring a lot of pretty texture. Raw crystals are sorted through to find the best ones, and carefully placed onto the rings with the positioning just right and the prettiest side facing upward. The ring and the base of the crystals are carefully hand painted with conductive paint. Using an electric current, metal deposits onto the ring and around the base of the stones for 20+ hours. This slow build up of metal creates a unique and organic looking setting that very securely holds the stone in place. The ring is tumbled, hand-polished, and can be left as is in solid silver or it can be plated in the thickest possible plating of 18k gold or rose gold. Long story short... a whole lot of time and love is put into this little beauty!

The Materials:

This ring is handcrafted with the very highest quality metal & stones.

There will be variations in coloring and shape (not every ring will look exactly like these photos) because stones are natural, straight from the earth. They aren't grown in a lab, cut into shapes, or dyed to be an exact uniform color. 

If ordered in silver you'll be able to wear it forever without ever needing it to be redipped since it's solid silver through and through (so I recommend choosing silver if you are hard on your rings). Or you can have it heavily plated in gold or rose gold (still as high of quality, you just may need us to redip it for you someday down the road). These rings will ship sooner if ordered in silver, longer if ordered in gold or rose gold.
