About WELO OPAL

'Ethiopian Welo/Wello Opal is a relatively new find and has rapidly gained popularity. It has some of the most amazing patterns of any opal, and plays of color that reflect shades of light seen nowhere else in the natural world. Anybody who loves opals I would urge to give this gem a chance. It is easy to become mesmerized by its unique beauty. Because of the hydrophane property of this opal it can become crystal clear when saturated in water and as it dries it will turn completely opaque, and then slowly return to a crystal/ semi-crystal state as it completely dries out which can take anywhere from a few days to several months. Over that time you can watch the opal slowly reveal new patterns or plays of color, sometimes gaining colors, and sometimes colors change or fade away. Because opal is not one of the hardest stones, ( only six on the scale of 10,) it is not recommended to be worn everyday, in the form of a ring, and NEVER put your hands in bleach or harsh detergent when wearing your ring. This will, most likely, cause permanent damage. And, don't forget, most swimming pools water is filtered with chlorine, (bleach.) to kill bacteria, which is not friendly to any jewelry.

Please read return policies before making a purchase. An informed buyer is a happy shopper. And if an issue arises, please make CONTACT thru the shop's Etsy-mail, so we can try to resolve it, before leaving a nasty review. Thank You.

As we are starting to add more Vintage and Antique Pieces, (which is quite costly,) these items are Not Refundable, but can be exchanged. However, the hand crafted pieces can still be returned and refunded, under certain circumstances, which you will find more detail about, if you scroll to the bottom of the 1st page, you will find a section about 'Returns and Exchanges.'

Please be aware, this shop does NO RESIZING of rings, but now some rings are adjustable, and most are resizable by your local silver smith or jeweler.

Unfortunately, the photography doesn't capture the natural beauty, color and sparkle of many of the gemstones and crystals, (especially the opals,) but when you see them in person, you will not be disappointed by Mother Nature.

Every domestic order over $15 is insured thru Etsy, and tracking can be seen by clicking on the 'YOU,' icon, top, right, and then click 'Purchases & Reviews.'

Vintage or Antique items are sold 'As Is', (non-refundable, but CAN Be Exchanged.) If purchased as a Christmas Gift, it can be Exchanged, by the purchaser only, and only if the shop is notified, (thru the shop,) within 5 business days after Christmas, (buy the buyer,) at which time, you should be able to tell me which item you would like to exchange for. Then you will be given mailing instructions and after I get the item back, (and have inspected it,) I will send the exchange item, or if the price is considerably higher, 'Reserve,' your chosen exchange item, with additional cost, with Your, (buyer's,) name on it, and put it on the last page of the shop. The buyer will have one week to return the unwanted item, for exchange, in which case I should receive it within two weeks. Also note, return Shipping Charges are not refunded, and you will be charged for them on the new choice.

On Antique, Vintage, or SALE items, prospective buyers are responsible for determining the physical condition of items from the Highly Magnified Photos in the listing, and the printed conditions in the description. Seller notes are based on opinion and are provided for guidance only. The pictures provided are a part of the description, and highly magnify unnoticeable, (by eye,) flaws. Antique, and Vintage jewelry should not be expected to look brand new, and will sometimes show wear, tarnish, or imperfections commensurate with age. Please view the pictures for detail. Weights and Gold value's stated are approximate and not guaranteed, (as Gold prices fluctuate daily,) this includes stones etc., in the weight. Age stated in the title and descriptions are opinion based on sellers experience & is in no way guaranteed to be such. These items are returnable for exchange only, and under certain circumstances, (such as, if the shop is contacted promptly upon receipt, etc.) If authorization is given to make an exchange, on a Vintage, Antique, or Sale item, or a refund on a New, Hand Crafted item, instructions will be given regarding shipping of the return.

Custom Orders are Welcome, if you would like to specify colors of Swarovski crystals, etc. on a hand made item, you are under no obligation to purchase it. If it is requested within 2 months of Christmas, and delivered when promised, it is not refundable, not even under the insinuation or threat, (after the Holidays,) that it is 'not as described,' and you wouldn't want to 'ruin my business,' (with a nasty review.)

If you decide not to purchase your custom piece, and let me know this within a few days after it is listed, (someone else will purchase it, sooner or later.) If you don't bother to let me know this within a few days, it may be taken OFF 'reserve,' for you.

Find Super Sales throughout the Shop! 'PS' on listings means 'Price Slashed.' Every item purchased is Gift Boxed, and mailed, first class, insured, asap, (usually within 24 hours,) UNLESS a shipping upgrade is purchased.
