PRECIOUS THINGS, FIERCELY PROTECTED
Grown over a year, our iridescent stone moves through blue, green, violet and fire.
Held in the Love Claw, first drawn in 2010.
ALL BELLO OPAL
Bello Opal is a lab-grown opal chosen for its remarkable depth, luminosity and play of colour. Its spectrum shifts with the light, revealing flashes of blue, green, gold, violet and pink, with each stone developing its own individual pattern of colour.
As a lab-grown alternative to mined opal, it requires no new gemstone extraction from the earth, allowing us to create extraordinary colour while reducing our reliance on newly mined gemstones.
Also in Pink Bello Opal.
GOOD TO KNOW
Bello Opal is a lab-grown opal chosen for its depth, luminosity and shifting play of colour. Approximately 80% chemically and structurally similar to natural opal.
Created as a durable alternative to mined opal, it requires no new gemstone extraction while retaining the mesmerising character of opal.
Yes, our jewellery is designed to be enjoyed everyday, however as it's made using precious metals and gemstones, care and regular cleaning is required to maintain the longevity of your piece.
Sterling silver and 18k gold are not indestructible. We use these metals rather than an alloy base metal for their lustre and longevity and the fact they can be melted down into something new far into the future.
Treat your jewellery with care to preserve its finish and the colour of the Bello Opal.
Avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions, cosmetics and household chemicals. Remove your jewellery before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping. Bello Opal is durable, but like any gemstone it can be scratched or damaged by hard knocks, so avoid impact and abrasive surfaces.
After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store separately in its original pouch or box.
For gold-plated and gold-vermeil pieces, avoid polishing cloths or abrasive cleaners, as these can gradually wear the gold finish.
For the most accurate fit, measure your finger at the end of the day when your hands are at their natural size.
Measure 3–4 times to make sure the result is consistent, and remember that finger size can change slightly with temperature and season.
Different fingers can be different sizes, so always measure the finger you plan to wear the ring on. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up.
Use our Ring Size Guide to match your measurement to your Stolen Girlfriends Club size.
We also have our ring size chart on each ring product page for your convenience.

Bello Opal is a limited seasonal release, with fewer than 50 pieces of each style made globally. Once sold through, this stone will make way for the next Love Claw release and is not guaranteed to return.
Both use genuine 18k gold layered over sterling silver. The difference is the thickness of the gold: vermeil uses a substantially thicker layer, giving it greater longevity, while gold plating uses a finer layer of gold.
We use both finishes depending on the design and how the piece is worn. Each product page clearly states whether a piece is 18k gold vermeil or 18k gold plated, so you know exactly what you’re purchasing.
We craft our jewellery from precious metals only - never base metal.
This collection is available in solid 925 sterling silver and 18k gold over sterling silver.
Rings are finished in 18k gold vermeil, while necklaces, earrings and bracelets feature 18k gold plating.
All pieces are nickel-free.

We can offer an extended returns window upon request at the time of ordering.
Change of mind returns will be offered an exchange or store credit.
Due to hygiene reasons, earrings are final sale and unable to be exchanged or returned.
Founded in New Zealand in 2005 as an experimental art project by Marc Moore, Stolen Girlfriends Club has evolved into a globally recognised jewellery and fashion brand. Our collections turn symbolic forms into sculptural pieces in precious metals and gemstones.
