Fire in the hand and heart

Bronze hand with opal on a sterling silver gold-plated chain.

The fingers are said to embody the five elements that shape both the world and ourselves. The thumb represents fire - the spark of creation and universal consciousness. The index finger embodies air, the element of intellect and individual awareness. The middle finger channels akasha, or ether - the space of connection and spirit. The ring finger grounds us in earth, offering stability and presence. And the little finger flows with water, the realm of emotion, intuition, and adaptability.

Opal, a stone born of both fire and water, carries the essence of these elements in perfect harmony. It is a gem of inspiration and transformation - said to enhance creativity, amplify emotional expression, and reveal one’s inner truth. Opal reflects the shifting colors of light and energy within us, reminding us of the fluid balance between passion and peace, movement and stillness, self and cosmos.

These stunning opals were gifted from my aunt who lives in Perth (Oz) for opening the Stella in May, and are very limited.
