All precious opals are beloved for their whimsical, kaleidoscopic colors, and the opals from the Coober Pedy mine of South Australia are no exception. While opals have garnered a superstitious reputation in more recent history, they were considered one of the luckiest gemstones from the Aztecs to ancient Roman scholars. It’s said that their opalescence inspired the ancient Greeks to believe opals offered foresight and clarity. A storied gemstone, there is no doubting the magic and beauty of these ethereal gems.
MOHs Hardness: 5.5-6.5
Origins: Coober Pedy mine in South Australia
Care: All opals are fragile like glass: be extra careful to avoid abrasive surfaces, and avoid knocking your opal against hard surfaces. Extreme temperature shifts can cause cracks. To keep your opal clean, use warm water with mild soap and a soft toothbrush or cloth. Do not use a steam cleaner or ultrasonic cleaner.
Healing Properties: White precious opal is an amplifier and is said to intensify emotions and purify the self. Opals were sometimes called “The Eye Stone.”

the story of vanity

Celebrating the often discouraged act of adorning oneself, the Vanity collection combines glamour with grit, and naturalistic curiosities with industrial elements. Growing up in a world that said a desire to be beautiful was vain, Hannah learned through time and her artwork that connecting to beauty is an ultimate form of empowerment. The one-of-a-kind and limited edition pieces of the Vanity collection incorporate Hannah’s love of atypical gemstones and prong settings. The gemstones found in Vanity are hand-selected for their obvious beauty, but more often for what makes them more obscure: vibrancy in unexpected hues, garish silhouettes, and striking inclusions that deem them traditionally flawed. But it is through their perfect imperfections that Hannah is given a canvas to celebrate her love of making, design, beauty, and unbridled creativity. Contrasting delicacy with severity and subtlety with singularity, the Vanity collection is a love story to femininity and ardent self-love. Shop the full Vanity Collection
