Boulder Opals were my way into the wonderful world of opal. I started by buying some rough pieces then after learning how to cabochon stones I set about doing just that with Boulder Opals. It is really exciting to see what I can find within the rough opals and this one proved to be one of my favourites.
The electric blue streak in this piece is just amazing, it has a depth to it like a hidden underwater cave that you can peer into a bit.
When I was designing this ring, I knew I wanted to use this gem. It had been such a joy for me to cabochon the gem that it was an obvious choice for part of the Eir collection - as that was all about healing and joy is certainly a healer. I felt that the ring could be quite substantial and provide a very definite stand for the opal to be shown from. Although Boulder Opal does not benefit from light behind it, I still wanted to make the ring feel lighter than it might look so by carving the wax out under the opal gave it that delicacy that added to the overall effect of the ring.
