Our Reconstituted Opal Crescent Moon Ring is perfect for everyday wear or special occasions.
A gorgeous design, this ring features a beautiful cabochon, round, Reconstituted Opal stone in a simple setting. Open at the front, this ring wraps beautifully around the finger, with the Opal on one side and a gorgeous hammered Sterling Silver crescent moon on the other.
A slightly adjustable band means that this ring can be worn in a small range of sizes, giving you peace of mind when buying as a gift. Just gently squeeze to make smaller, or gently stretch to make larger. Once you have found the correct size, keep the ring at that size as constant adjusting will weaken and distort the shape of the band.

About the stone
Reconstituted Opal is a laboratory grown artificial stone designed to have the aesthetic appeal of an Opal. The gemstone is usually a mix of glass, metal and sometimes plastic resin.
The ancient Greeks believed that opals were formed from the tears of joy wept by Zeus when he defeated the titans, and that the opal bestowed prophetic powers.
Most civilizations see opal as a lucky stone. In the Middle Ages, it was considered that it could provide great luck as it carried all the virtues of each gemstone whose colour was represented in the opal. Following the publication of Sir Walter Scott’s ‘Anne of Geierstein’ in 1829, opal acquired a less popular reputation. In Scott’s novel, the Baroness of Arnheim wears an opal talisman with supernatural powers. When a drop of holy water falls on the talisman, the opal turns into a colourless stone and the Baroness dies soon after. Due to the popularity of this novel, people began to associate opals with bad luck and death and within a year of the novel being published, the sale of opals in Europe had dropped by 50%.
Opals have always been associated with love and passion, it is a seductive stone that intensifies emotions and releases inhibitions. It is believed to stimulate originality and creativity. Wearing opal is said to bring loyalty, faithfulness and spontaneity.
