About Welo Opals

Precious opal mined in Ethiopia began entering the gem market in 1994. The most important opal discovery to date was made in 2008 near the town of Wegel Tena in the Wollo Province in the northern part of Ethiopia. This opal can have vivid play-of-colour and now known in the trade  as “welo opal".

About Rhodium

Rhodium is the most expensive of all precious metals, being a by-product of mining platinum. As an overlay, Rhodium gives silver a bright, non-scratch and protective finish, which is hypoallergenic and doesn't tarnish.
