Rings are potent symbols of power, the circle of life, and promises to keep. At Gemvara, we believe that the rings you wear should be one of a kind, like you. That's why all our rings are made from scratch in your choice of gems and precious metals. Choose amethyst and white gold or pearl and yellow 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 an anniversary or Mother's Day to your own personal milestones and celebrations. Our inspired gift ideas with a personal touch will make this Hanukkah memorable. Our impressive selection of fire opal rings by Jessica Behzad, Martha Gomez Gutierrez, Jeet Palavwala, and many other jewelry designers means you can find a style that's perfect for you. Because all Gemvara fire opal rings are made to order, we can hand-select the finest quality materials to perfectly suit your design. 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. Be careful when washing your hands: rings can easily slip down the drain! Clean fire opal rings in a bowl of water with a little mild dish soap. You can use a soft brush where dust collects. Gemvara's fine quality fire opal rings are designed to be passed down for generations, hand-crafted by skilled craftspeople in the United States.

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.
