inlay opal into metal

In this video, Karen shows how to inlay crushed opal into a silver metal ring. This is a fairly straight forward process, that can be finished with or without resin.

From raw stone to the finished product, this crushed opal is prepared, crushed, cleaned, and sifted by hand resulting in a .75mm size of material that is 100% pure Bello Opal; free of dust, debris, tinted clear chips and is consistently sized. Bello Opal is a lab created gemstone.
