One of our most special pieces. This unique, one-of-a-kind Australian opal doublet gemstone has been set with 20 brilliant cut diamonds by hand into 18k solid gold. The iridescent blue opal contains fire flashes of vivid green and hints of yellow as the light catches this gemstone from different angles. Packaged in a pink silk and velvet tassled box, this piece truly is something to be cherished.
A note on opal: October's birthstone. It takes its name from the Sanskrit word Upala which means "jewel", and later the Greek Opállios which means "to see a change in colour." In the Middle Ages, opal was considered a stone that could provide great luck as it was believed to possess all the virtues of each gemstone, whose colour was represented in the colour spectrum of the opal.
A note on diamond: April's birthstone, the diamond is said to represent love, strength and a long life. Referred to as the 'king of gems' due to its unique powers of light reflection and being one of the hardest natural substances known.

Our collections are handmade by family-run workshops and artisans in Italy and Turkey. Each piece is unique.
We only make our jewels in small batches and encourage our customers to only purchase what sparks joy, as to avoid unnecessary returns. Nothing we make is mass produced.
Our collections are designed in-house at Soru HQ, based on a quiet leafy street in Solihull, UK. Where each order is also hand packaged and thoughtfully dispatched.
We use natural gemstones and baroque pearls within our gold plated silver collection which may contain internal inclusions, irregular edges, uneven surfaces and variations in the colours. No two gems are the same, adding to the beauty and uniqueness of each individual gem.
If you wish to exchange your item for a different shape or colour, please get in touch at customercare@sorujewellery.com. Any return postage costs would be subject to charge. Item availability for exchange will depend on the stock we have remaining.

Gemstones
Gemstones should never be worn around hot water, harsh chemicals or cleaners.
You can clean most gemstones with a soft, damp cloth after wearing. Very porous stones such as turquoise and emeralds should be cleaned using an untreated, dry, soft cloth only. Do not use tissue paper or paper towels to clean as they can cause scratching.
