Strangers will take your time to view this beauty! This stunning work of wearable art was made by Silver Ray of New Mexico. The sterling silver watch tips feature sparkling hand-cut stones of lab blue opal. All around the horse shoe of blue opal is an artistic display of sterling silver feathers and coils for added adornment. The edges of the watch tips have been hand-filed with extra fine line details. The tips come with a complimentary watch face and an adjustable stretch band. Complimentary watch faces may slightly vary.

Historically, beliefs associated with the wearing of opal have varied. The early Greeks thought that opals gave their owners the powers of foresight and prophecy. Romans adored it as a token of hope and purity. Eastern people regarded it as sacred. Arabs believed it fell from heaven. Opal's name evolved from the Roman word “opalus” from the Greek word “opallios” - "to see a change of color." The Greek word was a modification of the ancient Indian Sanskrit name for opal, “upala,” which meant "precious stone." If one spoke in mixed tongues, then opal would be opallios upala, "to see a change of color precious stone." As indicated by the derivation of its name, opal has centuries of history as a treasured gemstone.
