925 sterling silver Victorian ring made with a natural black fire opal faceted oval gemstone in mixed colors with some green and navy base tone, which add vibrancy to the fire colors by adding a slightly lighter background, so the opal looks cheerful and is very high quality grade stone.
The silver ring setting is plated with rhodium over sterling silver and has an added antique finish applied over the shiny plating layer to preserve the vintage style of the ring design, so you can have a stylish ring with protective rhodium plated finish too - it does not get in a way of creating the vintage look but without it being and looking old, which not everyone would enjoy as a true Victorian jewelry collector might by looking at an actual ring that was made during those days with reverence towards every detail.
The modern version of vintage is very forgiving and allows us to enjoy the style while also getting the modern advantages of new production techniques.
I am really in love with Victorian style, but it has to be done right, so the ring could show mild decorative oxidation applied to the filigree band design to highlight the intricate curves and bring out the quality of craftsmanship to view, so the setting looks absolutely beautiful and for handmade jewelry this is quite rare.
Many ambitious jewelers attempt to make the settings at home , but unfortunately the best representation of your idea, your creative design can be achieved through having the designs you created manufactured professionally, so I know that my ring is going to look flawless, and I don’t have to prove to myself that I want to make it myself since it is such a huge gap between what you can do at home and what can be achieved in the factory settings.
I also got lucky by finding the perfect manufacturer who share similar esthetics they put in their own jewelry, so it was easy to explain the idea and the next thing I know - the ring sample was at my door!

🔹 This is my very first design produced for my own jewelry line by a professional large scale sterling silver jewelry manufacturer - my sterling silver settings supplier helping me create my own sterling silver Victorian/Celtic/ Boho jewelry line with strong Bali influences.
The best quality sterling silver I was able to find among hundreds of suppliers. Their quality of silver and the plated finish is outstanding.
Each Victorian ring listing with a black opal is unique and needs to represent a category of black opals which look very similar.
Every opal is one of a kind of course, but I would have gone crazy if I didn’t divide them in a few groups at least.
The ring will have a unique stone with it’s own personality and play of color that you won’t see in any other stone even though a few opals might be sold through the same listing having some common traits.

Opal jewelry is EXTREMELY FRAGILE and cannot come in touch with any liquid including water.
Please make sure you DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR OPAL JEWELRY TO WATER!
- Do not wash hands, take shower, do strenuous activity, run errands, clean the house or exercise with opals still on.
- Take off before bed and clean and buff the metal parts regularly to avoid using chemical cleaners.
- Micro paved Jewelry cannot be placed into an ultrasonic Jewelry cleaner due to the shaking, which might cause the tiny stones to fall out.

-“care tips” card is provided with your order.
UNDERSTANDING NATURAL OPAL AND LEVELING YOUR EXPECTATIONS: https://www.kissedbyfirejewelry.com/post/900279778388/understanding-natural-opal-must-read
- YOUR JEWELRY WILL AND SHOULD LOOK DIFFERENT FROM THE LISTING PHOTOS EVEN IF THE PHOTOS ARE TAKEN OF THE ACTUAL OPAL
- The truth about this gemstone is that its uniqueness, its ever changing play of color, its brilliance, color intensity or fire pattern cannot be captured on a still image. A natural fire opal can look green on one photograph and red on the other with every subtle change in light angle or its intensity.
- There is a SIGNIFICANT amount of attenuation present when you look at an opal under natural daylight compared to its artificially exaggerated brilliance seen under the artificial indoor light;
- it is NORMAL for opals to change their appearance, so please keep this in mind that even the same opal NEVER LOOKS THE SAME!

Buyers fiancée speaking: ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! I would give this 6 STARS if I could. I love black opal rings, and have spent WEEKS searching through pages of black opal rings on Etsy, and the quality of all others I saw came nowhere close to Julia’s. She’s the best for black opal. Amazing customer service, and it shipped fast. Turned out gorgeous and I absolutely ADORE it. I will 150% be purchasing from this store in the future.

The ring is absolutely beautiful! Stunning would be a better description. There was a hitch in shipping during Christmas and Julia made everything so much better. The craftsmanship and service level are far above and beyond. Rest assured in your purchase from Julia.
