Fire Opal Family Rings by Randy Dixon

Rings have long symbolized the circle of life. At Gemvara, we believe that the rings you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why our rings are made to order in your choice of conflict-free gems and recycled precious metals. Choose amethyst and palladium or diamond and rose gold: it's your choice. Mix and match gems and precious metals for a look that's exactly you. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from a birthday or graduation to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Our unrivalled selection of designs by Damon Washington, Jeet Palavwala, Carl Ansley, and other talented jewelry designers means you can find a ring that's just your style. Design family jewelry that will express your signature style. Because all Gemvara fire opal family rings are made to order, we can hand-select the finest quality materials to perfectly suit your design. Fire opal glows with the fire or ancient volcanoes. Be careful when removing rings to wash your hands. Don't leave your ring on the rim of a sink where it can slip down the drain! Clean fire opal family rings with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality fire opal family rings are designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Randy Dixon is an artist who creates metal sculpture that also happens to be wearable jewelry designs. An award-winning designer with more than thirty-five years of jewelry bench experience, one of his greatest talents is thinking out of the box and translating abstract ideas into breathtaking design features. A gemologist, Randy truly loves the materials he works with; whether it's a brilliant gemstone or a lustrous metal, he is genuinely excited before beginning each new design. Although he seeks inspiration in a variety of sources, his biggest influences include his artist mother, his wife, and the woman who will wear each piece of jewelry he creates.

The fire opal is all about unity; in fact it symbolizes the unity of two polar opposites: fire and water. Fire opal forms when water seeps into silica-rich red, hot lava, filling all its crevices. Then the silica forms a solid gel, trapping the remaining water within its structure. This vivid gem's beauty also will remind you of flames. Color is the most important factor to consider in picking the perfect fire opal and a vivid orange hue means it is of fine quality. Unlike most opal, fire opal is faceted and has brilliance, as well as a bright, day-glow, orange color. Born in the fire of Mexico's volcanoes, fire opal's natural, bright orange color is unmatched in the gem kingdom. Cut is more important than clarity when choosing your fire opal because fire opal often has a welcome haziness that actually increases the vibrancy of its color. Opal is the October birthstone and the 14th anniversary gem. All Gemvara jewelry is made to order, which ensures that a premium-quality fire opal will be hand-selected to perfectly suit your design. Crafted in the United States, Gemvara's fine fire opal jewelry is precious and personal, surely to be passed down for generations to come.
