Ah, summer. Is it finally here? For the team at Bloom, summer means… beaches! Picture shimmering water, blue skies, sun-dappled waves, and sparkling sands. Feel the sand between your toes and the sun against your skin. Imagine floating in the cool water and smelling that salt air. You there yet?

Though we’re still ensconced in our Denver, Colorado, studio, we’re *also* already at the beach. Why? Well, it’s all about our new Opal Collection! While we’ve got several amazing new pieces featuring Opals on their own, we were also inspired to bring these gorgeous, glittering, iridescent stones together with the similarly lit-from-within Labradorite, the deep blues of Lapis Lazuli, and the classic summer staple of Turquoise. The palette evokes an idyllic seascape positively shimmering with seashells, sun, and bright blue water — a truly perfect-for-summer combination.

If you don’t know the delightful Opal, it’s high time to change that. With their silica structure, Opals have a truly one-of-a-kind appearance. Picture a tiny rainbow-colored firework reduced to the size of a gemstone, and you’ve pretty much got it. Hey, fireworks make us think of summer, too!
