The Ethiopian Opal Story:

Why Ethiopian Opals are Extraordinary

Ethiopian opals are among the most spectacular gemstones in the world, discovered relatively recently in the highlands of Ethiopia. Unlike Australian opals, Ethiopian opals are known for their intense play-of-color and transparency.

What Makes AAA+ Grade Special:

• Exceptional clarityTransparent to translucent (not milky)
• Vivid fireFlashes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
• Faceted cutThis 4x2mm opal is faceted (rare for opals!)
• High qualityAAA+ is the highest grade available
• Natural beautyUntreated, genuine Ethiopian opal

The Fire Within: Ethiopian opals display "play-of-color"—a mesmerizing rainbow effect that shifts and dances as you move. Your opal will flash different colors depending on the angle and lighting, creating an ever-changing display of natural beauty.

Bridal Symbolism: Opals symbolize hope, purity, and truth—perfect for a bride embarking on a new journey. The rainbow fire represents the spectrum of emotions and experiences in marriage.
