Opal
Real Australian fire opal, raw and uncut. Each stone is chosen by hand for its flash - green, gold, blue, sometimes a streak of red - and set the way it came out of the ground.
Nothing here is polished into sameness. The color play is natural, the shape is its own, and no two will ever match. A few lab-grown Kyocera opal shapes - stars, moons and butterflies - sit alongside them.

What to expect from your Opal
Stones, metals, delivery windows, sizing and daily wear, gathered in one place.
Why is every raw stone different?
Each stone is a genuine raw gemstone, kept in the shape it grew in rather than cut and faceted. Colour, shape and inclusions shift from one crystal to the next, so no two pieces are identical and the one that arrives is a close relative of the photo rather than a copy. Every gemstone we set is conflict-free.
What are these pieces made of?
Gold styles are 14k gold-filled (1/20) finished with a 24k gold dip, warm pink styles use rose gold fill, and any style listing a silver option is made in 925 sterling silver. Gold fill is a thick bonded layer of gold rather than a thin plating, which is why it stands up to daily wear. We use recycled precious metals wherever possible, and every piece is 100% hand crafted in our Atlanta studio by Bailey.
When will my order reach me?
Shipping inside the US is free on every order with no minimum, and each parcel travels with tracking. In-stock pieces ship within 1 business day and land in 3 to 5 days, while made-to-order pieces are handcrafted within 10 to 15 business days before they ship. International orders travel at USPS rates, and any duties are the responsibility of the buyer.
What if I need to send something back?
Unworn pieces can come back to us within 100 days of delivery, with custom and made-to-order work as the two exceptions. Return postage is paid by the buyer unless the mistake was ours. Write to support@ringcrush.com and we will walk through it with you.
How do I land on the right ring size?
Sizes are listed on each ring page, and ready-to-ship rings are made in whole sizes. Every ring page carries a size guide plus a printable paper sizer you can measure with at home. If you sit between two sizes, take the larger of the two.
How do I keep a piece looking its best?
Keep it clear of chlorine, harsh cleansers and household chemicals, and slip it off before you swim. A soft dry cloth is all it takes to buff the metal back up. Store it dry and out of direct sun, and the Ringcrush gift box that comes with every order at no extra charge is a good place for it.
A closer look at Opal
Opal is the October birthstone. It is a hydrated silica built from tiny spheres packed in a grid, and light bending through that grid is what produces the shifting color. Ours arrives as rough Australian material rather than polished domes, so you see natural faces and veins of green, blue and orange. The Kyocera pieces… are lab-created opal cut to a clean outline, which is the right choice when you want the color without the irregular edge. Settings are 24k gold over electroformed copper on 14k gold-filled (1/20) posts and chain, with sterling silver and rose gold fill offered on many of the styles. Opal is softer than quartz, so take rings off for gardening, dishes and the gym. Rings are made in sizes 4 through 13, from a mini single stone to three and five stone clusters, so decide how much flash you want on one finger before choosing.
