The gold frame makes the stone's fire glow brighter, so it reads like a tiny piece of fine jewellery. Wear it as an opal nose stud in the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nose-piercing\"\u003enostril\u003c\/a\u003e, or stack it in a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tragus-piercing\"\u003etragus\u003c\/a\u003e, helix, conch or flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour comes from a \u003cstrong\u003egold PVD finish on ASTM F136 titanium (G23)\u003c\/strong\u003e: real warmth on a nickel-free implant-grade core, not plated brass. The opal itself is \u003cstrong\u003esynthetic, created in a laboratory\u003c\/strong\u003e, and we would rather tell you so than call it natural. Prefer a cooler, more minimal look?
