Fire Opal Jewelry by Judy Evans

At Gemvara, we believe that the fire opal jewelry you wear should be precious because it's personal. Every beautiful Gemvara design is made just for you, in your choice of gems and precious metals. Your child's birthstone in sterling silver. Your favorite gem in white gold. Add your own meaning to every design, creating beautiful memories and brilliant reminders. It's jewelry for all life's occasions, from an anniversary or engagement to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Gemvara uses only the highest quality materials to craft your fire opal jewelry with meticulous attention to detail. Our precious metals are recycled or responsibly mined. Our wide selection of fire opal jewelry by Jessica Behzad, Paul Bierker, Bijoux & Bijoux, and other talented designers means you can find jewelry that's just your style. Found in lava flows, fire opal has a flame-like orange color that is impossible to ignore. Although fire opal is most common in domed cabochon cuts, Gemvara's fire opal is faceted for extra brilliance. Opal is an October birthstone and the 14th anniversary gem. Clean your fire opal jewelry with mild dish soap: use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality fire opal jewelry is designed to be passed down for generations to come, crafted by hand in the United States.

Judy Evans is an internationally recognized jewelry designer with more than 17 national and international design awards, from De Beers Diamonds International to the AGTA Spectrum Award and the Johnson Matthey Platinum Design Competition. You may have seen her work in the collections of major brands. Her style is recognizable, but not predictable, with feminine curves and breathtaking dimension. "Design should evolve, not simply follow trends," she says. "My work has been dedicated to showing there is no limit to creativity. Why interpret another's style when you can stand apart with your own?" Her designs are lovely from every angle, with details and surprises that you'll enjoy every time you look closely at one of her pieces. The hand-painted renderings she creates of each design concept are as beautiful as the jewelry they so evocatively bring to life.

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.
