I recently learned that Pink Opals are called the stone of "peace and penance," supporting the wearer in forgiving themselves for mistakes of the past, making peace with those mistakes in the present, and looking to the future with optimism and a renewed sense of hope. This makes perfect sense to me...
 
Ethically sourced Pink Opal set in sterling silver with fine silver bezel. Size 8 3/4.
 
All my pieces are individually handmade from natural stones and recycled metals. No two items are alike, and they will all have natural imperfections. These imperfections imbue the work with unique personality, grit, and story – the stuff of character. 
 
Stone jewelry shouldn’t be worn in water or exposed to chemicals (soaps, lotions, detergents). I like to think of stones as living things (on much different time scales than the ones we are accustomed to). To extend their lives, we need to limit their exposure water and other chemicals/liquids.
