Opal Ring in 22k Gold & Sterling Silver .925
One can count on a whole lotta fire within this high domed 11 carat Welo opal cabochon ring! Though often tricky to capture the light and color play within opals through a lens, these pictures taken at dusk caught a peak of the reds, pinks, oranges and greens that are found within the growth structure of this Ethiopian Blue Nile opal. Set in our classic studio milled 22 karat gold bezel atop an open backed base and shank of sterling silver. High polish finish. Shank width of 8 mm. Top measurements of 21.75 mm vertical x 17.20 mm horizontal x 10 mm gem height. Ring size 8.
Because of the nature of natural untreated gem materials at this large scale, please note that there is a surface inclusion on this opal. This is not a negative or compromised quality of opal, rather a part of the growth of the material that was not removed in order to give the opal its size and shape.
