The Lightning Ridge opal mine is known for producing the famed black opal, but it also produces a variety of vibrant opals with a lustrous play-of-color and fire. Hannah Blount Jewelry works with a variety of opal cutters around the world who procure ethically-sourced, rough opal from local Australian miners. All opals are beloved for their whimsical, kaleidoscopic colors; the word opal comes from the Latin opallios- this describes a person’s ability to perceive the changing of colors.
Origins: Lightning Ridge, NSW Australia
MOHs Hardness: 5.5-6.5
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.

THE ANATOMY OF VANITY

The Vanity collection reclaims self-adornment as an act of empowerment, celebrating the courage to embrace beauty on one’s own terms. Rooted in the idea that true confidence comes from within, these designs honor individuality, vulnerability, and the strength found in self-expression.

Gemstones are held in long, finely tapered prongs that feel both delicate and sharp, balancing elegance with a subtle edge. This tension creates sculptural, modern designs that elevate each stone while reinforcing the collection’s theme of unapologetic self-expression.

Each piece centers around a carefully selected gemstone, chosen not only for its beauty but for what sets it apart. From vibrant, unexpected hues to bold silhouettes and striking inclusions, these one-of-a-kind stones redefine traditional ideas of perfection. Ideal for unique fine jewelry and alternative gemstone engagement rings, they celebrate individuality through natural variation and character.

Set in solid silver, platinum, or gold with our traditional matte finish, each piece is handcrafted for lasting wear. Designed as rings, necklaces, and earrings, the collection offers alternative, non-traditional jewelry that feels both refined and boldly individual.
