Sterling Silver Fire Opal Celtic Jewelry by David West

The never-ending Celtic knots depicted on our sterling silver fire opal celtic jewelry symbolize the interconnectedness of life. The designs of Celtic rings are inspired by the art and manuscripts of medieval Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Endless interwoven knots, looping braids, interlaced lines and distinctive crosses give Celtic rings their unique and distinctive style that appeals to people all around the world. The most beautiful sterling silver fire opal celtic jewelry and Celtic wedding rings have patterns inspired by the famous Book of Kells, an illuminated Gospel from the year 800 with exquisite illustrations. Claddagh rings, with a design of a crowned heart held between two hands symbolizing love, friendship and loyalty, are the most popular celtic rings. One of the most popular symbols in sterling silver fire opal celtic jewelry is the Triqueta, a three-sided symbol of the trinity. The triqueta also refers to the nature's air, earth, and water and man's mind, body, and spirit.

David West's striking jewelry designs have often been described as architectural, perhaps because at a young age his architect grandfather taught him to appreciate form, space, line, and proportion, as well as a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. A passionate designer, master goldsmith, gemologist, and entrepreneur, David has been involved in nearly every aspect of design during his long career. After training at Rhode Island School of Design and Rochester Institute of Technology's School for the American Crafts, he launched his career as a jewelry designer. In 1985, David won the prestigious De Beers Diamonds Today Award. One of the first designers to use computer-aided design, David continues to innovate today. As you might expect from such a distinguished career, David's designs are very refined and elegant, with pure clean lines. He strives to create beautiful classic jewelry items that stand the test of time.

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.
