The Design
Two wings spread from the center stone, each feather cut into the silver, so the opal sits like a body between them. The wings are the whole ring: the band is slim and plain beneath them, with a cluster of three moissanites on each shoulder where the wings meet it.
Selene is a fairy design for anyone whose taste runs to romantasy. It is made to stack with the Selene crescent moon band, a slim band with two moons and a round white opal that sits below the wings, sold separately. The same design is also made in black ruthenium with a magenta opal and black onyx. It sits naturally among our fairy engagement rings. If you are looking past a plain solitaire, our guide to fairy engagement rings maps the wider field.
The Opal
The center is lab-created white fire opal. It is cut as a smooth pear cabochon, which is how opal shows its play of color: patches of blue, green and pink that shift across a milky white body as the stone turns. No two stones carry the same pattern. Our guide to opal engagement rings covers types, durability and care, and opal meaning covers what each color stands for.
The Moissanite and the Metal
The six small rounds on the shoulders are moissanite, a lab-grown stone with more fire than diamond and a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale. They are not diamonds.
The ring is solid 925 sterling silver with a rhodium finish, the same platinum-group metal used on white gold. The rhodium gives the bright white surface and shields the silver underneath from tarnishing. Part of our opal engagement rings and sterling silver rings collections.

Care
Opal is softer than most ring stones, 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, so it asks for a little care. Take the ring off for the gym, gardening and heavy cleaning. Clean with warm water, mild soap and a soft cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners and household chemicals, which can harm the opal and wear the rhodium finish, and store the ring in its velvet box rather than loose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the opal natural?
No. It is lab-created opal. It shows a true play of color, with a brighter and more even pattern than most mined opal at this price.
What colors does the opal show?
A milky white body with flashes of blue, green and pink. The pattern shifts as the stone moves, and every stone is slightly different.
Are the white accent stones diamonds?
No. They are moissanite, a lab-grown stone with more fire than diamond.
Does the moon band come with it?
No. The Selene crescent moon band is sold separately. The two are designed to stack, with the band sitting below the wings.
What is the ring made of?
Solid 925 sterling silver throughout, with a rhodium finish for a bright white surface. No brass or base metal.
Will the silver tarnish?
The rhodium finish acts as a barrier, so it resists the darkening untreated sterling develops. The finish does wear thin after years of daily wear, and we can refinish the ring when it does.
Is opal durable enough for everyday wear?
Opal is 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than sapphire or moissanite. It works as a daily ring with sensible care: remove it for manual work and avoid hard knocks.
What sizes are available?
Sizes 4 through 11, including every half size.
Can I have it engraved?
Yes. Engraving is available on the inner band, up to 16 characters, and can be added as an option at checkout.
Does it come with a ring box?
Yes. Every order arrives in a free luxury velvet jewelry box.
