Easy to Work With: Softer composition is perfect for inlay, turning, and cabbing without splintering. Coverage: One gram is enough for 3-5 standard ring inlays or to fill a 1.5" x 1.5" (4cm x 4cm) area at a depth of approx. 1mm. Creative Applications Jewelry & Ring Inlay: Create regal or fantasy-inspired custom jewelry that looks like a priceless artifact.

Pro-Tip: The opal's true vibrancy is revealed when "wet" or mixed with a binder (like resin or CA glue).
