Opal rings have long held a special place in the world of jewelry, captivating hearts with their unique play of color and rich symbolism. At LaneWoods Jewelry, we celebrate the allure of opals, offering a stunning collection of opal rings that blend timeless elegance with contemporary style. Whether you’re drawn to the romantic connotations or the mesmerizing beauty of these gemstones, there’s an opal ring waiting for you to discover.

The Symbolism Behind Opal Rings

Opals have been steeped in meaning and myth throughout history. In ancient Rome, opals were seen as a symbol of hope, purity, and truth. They were believed to possess the virtues of all other gemstones, making them a highly prized possession. Fast forward to the Middle Ages, and opals were thought to bring good luck and protect the wearer from disease.

Today, opals are often associated with love and passion. Their ever – changing colors, which shift and sparkle with every movement, are said to mirror the complexity and depth of human emotions. An opal ring can be a powerful symbol of a unique and passionate relationship, making it an increasingly popular choice for engagement rings, promise rings, and anniversary gifts. It’s also the birthstone for October, making it a meaningful gift for those born in this month.

Styles of Opal Rings 

Classic Solitaire Opal Rings

Our classic solitaire opal rings are the epitome of simplicity and elegance. A single, stunning opal takes center stage, allowing its natural beauty and play of color to shine through. Set in a sleek band of white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold, these rings are perfect for those who prefer a minimalist look. The solitaire design is timeless, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions. Whether you’re wearing a casual outfit or a formal gown, a classic solitaire opal ring adds a touch of sophistication.

Halo Opal Rings

For a more glamorous and dramatic look, our halo opal rings are a top choice. In this design, the opal is surrounded by a “halo” of smaller gemstones, usually moissanite. The halo not only enhances the size and sparkle of the opal but also creates a frame that draws attention to its unique colors. The combination of the opal’s iridescence with the brilliance of the surrounding stones makes for a truly show – stopping piece. These rings are ideal for engagements or formal events, where you want to make a statement.

Vintage – Inspired Opal Rings

If you love the charm of a bygone era, our vintage – inspired opal rings are sure to delight. These rings feature intricate filigree work, detailed engravings, and antique – style settings that harken back to the Art Deco or Victorian periods. The opals in these designs are often cut in unique shapes, such as ovals or cushions, and are complemented by smaller gemstones that add to the vintage aesthetic. Wearing a vintage – inspired opal ring is like wearing a piece of history, and it’s a great way to add a touch of old – world elegance to your jewelry collection.

Stackable Opal Rings

For a modern and trendy look, consider our stackable opal rings. These delicate rings are designed to be worn together, allowing you to create your own unique combination. You can mix and match different styles, colors, and textures of opal rings, along with other stackable bands, to create a personalized look that reflects your individual style.

Other Tips

1) Measure your finger in warm temperatures at the end of the day.

2) If your knuckle is a lot larger than the base of your finger, measure both the base of your finger and your knuckle and select a size between the two.

3) When considering a wide band, move up a size from your measurement, for comfort’s sake.
