Opal Creek takes its name from the quiet mountain streams that shimmered with hidden color after rainfall in the old frontier. Early settlers believed opals held the magic of trapped lightning — rare stones that reflected both earth and sky. The ring’s hammered gold band recalls the hand-forged tools of miners who once sought such treasures in Oregon’s highlands. Its iridescent stone glows like sunlight rippling across water, shifting from deep blue to fiery red. A piece that feels alive — a keepsake of nature’s brilliance, forged where wilderness met wonder.
