Koroit Opal and Sapphire Sterling Silver Ring
Koroit Opal and Sapphire Sterling Silver Ring
A stunning natural Koroit Opal with beautiful colour play, with a companion dark blue Sapphire. You will receive the beautiful sterling silver ring in the photos. The Opal measure approximately 14x11x6 and Sapphire measures 3mm diameter.
The clever design of this ring means it will span sizes O-S (UK) and 7½-9¼ (US) due to the open design of the band, without drastically compromising the original design concept too much.
Will arrive in a Two Skies giftbox with Opals and Rubies & Sapphires pamphlets.
RESIZING ADJUSTABLE RINGS
It is quite easy to change the size of the ring yourself as long as you go slowly and are careful, manipulating the inner area of the band with warm fingers, rather than pulling at the end sections – this will help keep a round shape too. This ring will span quite a few sizes without compromising the original design concept. Once set, it is advisable not to resize again, as silver is quite soft and can become brittle and snap if bent too frequently.

Koroit Opal
The Koroit Opal Field is close to Yowah, near the township of Cunnamulla, it’s a relatively new mining area and our material comes from several workings. Koroit’s iron stone is a lot darker in colour and the nuts are mostly tunnel dug using a jackhammer. As opposed to Yowah, there is still a lot of potential at Koroit, however its remote location makes mining expensive and difficult.
Sapphire
Sapphire, September's birthstone, and its close cousin Ruby, are members of the corundum mineral species; they are chemically the same mineral, just a different colour. This gem can also naturally appear in a wide spectrum of shades including yellow, purple, orange, green and white - corundum in these colours are known as 'Fancy Sapphires'!
Sterling Silver 925%
Why do silversmiths use 925%? Measured in parts per thousand, pure silver (999%) is too soft so silversmiths mix it with other metals to make it it harder. The purer the metal, the higher the polish, but it is a lot softer (thus less durable). The harder the metal is, the more hard wearing the jewellery is, but it will also tarnish easier as it has less silver content. Therefore, the silver industry set a standard percentage content for fine silver (925); what we know as "sterling silver". At Two Skies our silversmiths use 925 (sterling) silver for ring shafts and moving parts, and a very high 950% on our stones settings, which enables us to get a strong jewellery item with a beautiful and secure stone setting, without any gluing. Each piece of our jewellery is hand stamped with our Two Skies Hallmark alongside the recognised industry 925 Hallmark.
