Dioptase is the stone for grief and healing. It soothes anger and sadness, allowing one to let go of the hurt that is holding one back from enjoying life. It enhances courage and confidence by shining a light on life, helping one to connect with one’s true self and soul. It relieves stress and trauma in present and past lives while promoting change and growth. If one is grieving, dioptase guides the heart into healing. This Dioptase ring is plated in 14 karat gold and is a size 8. The ring was created through a process called electroforming, where tiny particles of copper are deposited onto a conductive surface via electricity in a copper solution, over the period of several hours. Once formed in copper, the piece is then plated in the thickest layer of 14 karat gold and sealed to preserve the plating for as long as possible.
