What Is a White Opal Ring? (Upal Ratna Meaning)
A white opal ring is a ring made from natural white opal, a silica-based stone that has a pearly white color and a subtle internal play-of-color. Unlike Fire Opal or Black Opal, White Opal has a lighter, almost milky shade, hence the alternate Hindi name Doodhiya Pathar. In Vedic astrology, White Opal is the primary gemstone of the planet Venus and is recommended to be worn as a ring on the little finger of the working hand, in 925 silver, to maintain constant contact with the skin.
Our Opal Ring collection also includes this precious stone in other colors – make sure to explore our Opal collection and compare your options before making a decision.
