Mexican Fire Opal cuff (SALE/FLAWED)

$60.00 USD
— Sold out

I am offering this hand-chosen natural Mexican Fire Opal + 925 sterling silver cuff at a steep discount due to crack in the stone.

As a silversmith, there are a hundred (or so) steps to creating every piece that leaves my bench and goes out into the world. One of the last steps to finish a piece is setting the stone - using a bezel pusher or a burnisher and a rawhide hammer to carefully close up the silver around the stone + seal it into its forever home. Mexican Fire Opals are fragile and this one happened to crack at the last moment (crack best observed in photo #2). She's imperfect but sparkly + plenty lovable still!

*disclaimer: I source these Mexican fire opals directly in the small town where they are mined, and they remain in their natural state- porous to liquids/oils. If you'd like your opal to keep its original glimmer, please avoid exposure to water.
