The opal set in this ring is a natural shell opal from 2.15ct. Coober Pedy inlaid into a sandstone rock (in which opal can be found in the Lightning Ridge area) The old time miners called it shin cracker opal because as they were digging the chunks would fall down, hit your shin, and cause them to hurt and bleed which was considered “good luck” because it meant that you were close to finding opal. The ring is also set with a .11ct. Repurposed diamond.

SHINCRACKER OPAL RING WITH DIAMOND
The opal set in this ring is a natural shell opal from 2.15ct. Coober Pedy inlaid into a sandstone rock (in which opal can be found in the Lightning Ridge area) The old time miners called it shin cracker opal because as they were digging the chunks would fall down, hit your shin, and cause them to hurt and bleed which was considered “good luck” because it meant that you were close to finding opal.

Every Amaroo piece has been hand fabricated (not cast), hand set, hand engraved and is truly “one of a kind”. We are an eco-friendly business and insist on the use of 100% recycled 18k yellow gold, recycled sterling silver, diamonds used in our jewelry have been repurposed from older pieces (never blood diamonds*), and the majority of our accent stones were removed from previously made jewelry items. Our Australian opals are sourced directly from ethical miners, suppliers, and lapidists in Australia. When the quality meets our standards and aesthetic we may occasionally use repurposed opals.
Note: All Amaroo items come with a warranty card, a full appraisal, and arrive in gift packaging. Our pendants all come on either an 18″ or 20″ Sterling Silver wheat chain with lobster claw at no additional charge.
*If our customers ask us to use a “new” diamond, for a bespoke piece of Amaroo Handmade Opal Jewelry™, we are committed to the Kimberley Process (KP) and will only use a KP certified gemstone.
