In ancient times, Opal was believed to possess all the characteristics of all gemstones and is used because it represents Hope, Charity and Truth. Queen Victoria of the British Monarchy is thought to have gifted her five daughters' opal jewelry at their weddings because of the stone's meaning.

Billiards or "Pool" Balls were initially made of wood and clay.  From the 17th century until the 20th century they were made of Ivory. As pressure was mounting against the Ivory trade,, in 1869 John Wesley Hyatt was credited with  inventing celluloid, a material that paved the way for modern synthetic billiard balls. They have now been repurposed in this incredible fine jewelry!
