Welo Opal Cabochons 2 Piece Set 12.80 Total Carat Weight
A bold two-stone set of hand-cut Ethiopian Welo opal cabochons, 12.80 carats total — a pair with serious fire, perfect for statement earrings or a matched setting.
Welo (Wollo) opal hails from the Ethiopian highlands and is loved for its vivid play-of-color in reds, greens, blues, and neon hues. Both cabochons were individually cut and polished by hand, the domed form chosen to maximize brilliance and depth. Welo is a hydrophane opal, so it can absorb a little moisture and shift in appearance, often showing pinfire, honeycomb, or broad-flash patterns.
