Opals
LOW STOCK ALERT
October’s Birthstone: The Magnificent Opal
Flickering with spectral blues, ghostly greens, and flashes of red flame, opals have long been surrounded by superstition… Their shifting flashes of color have been likened to captured lightning, ghostly apparitions, and glimpses into the beyond. Australian Aboriginal traditions view opals as a bridge between the earth and the spiritual world.
Some say opals are cursed, but we never minded a little haunting anyway...
Just a few of these beautiful black and white specimens left; we won’t be re-stocking until next year.
NEW: SILVER DICE RINGS
THE STORY
Since 1971
Alex Streeter began his career by making custom death masks, tarot card necklaces and other mystical talismans at his store in Soho, New York in the early 1970’s. Soon he began to carve jewelry pieces using the ancient art of lost wax casting. Today, each and every piece is still cast locally in the Diamond District of Manhattan, and finished by hand in our studio.
INSPIRATION
Born to a Welsh mother, from a young age Alex was fascinated by the Ancient Welsh Druids and early paganism. This affinity for the the occult and its intersection with the natural world features heavily in his carvings. A prolific artist, Alex's complete collection contains over 1,000 unique carvings as well as various large-scale sculptures.
LEGACY
Alex Streeter is most known for his signature piece - the Angel Heart Ring. Originally worn by Robert DeNiro in the 1987 thriller “Angel Heart”, the ring has since garnered a cult following around the world. Today Alex runs the company with the help of his daughter, Lily Streeter, who recently began adding her own designs to the collection.
Alex's jewelry has been worn by Axl Rose, Post Malone, Jimmy Page, Madonna, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Jonathan Davis, Kristen Stewart, Joni Mitchell, Aaliyah, Steven Tyler, Gregg Allman, Hyde of l’Arc en Ciel and many more around the world...
