Description
This is a beautiful 18k solid gold ring with one of finest Australian crystal opals I have seen. Crystal opal is pure opal with no matrix or host rock and in this case it is clear as glass except for the play of color it displays. The band has added details including a row of gold balls channeled between two rows of twisted wire.
The stone is faceted into a perfect emerald cut and displays shades of green, blue, cyan and magenta.
The ring at its widest point is approx. 7/16” wide (at the front – top to bottom) and the band is approx. 1/4” at the back. See photo with older U.S. dime for size/scale.
