This stunning 18ct white gold ring is a true masterpiece, featuring a captivating solid Lightning Ridge black Opal as its centerpiece.
The Opal, measuring approximately 11 x 9.5 x 4.5mm, showcases a vibrant play of colour, with mesmerising flashes of blue, green, orange, and red dancing across its surface, set against a deep, velvety dark (N3) base—a hallmark of the renowned Lightning Ridge region.
Encircling, and enhancing the Opal is an elegant arrangement of sparkling brilliant-cut and marquise-cut diamonds, with a total diamond weight (TDW) of 0.18 carats (colour G-H / clarity VS-SI), meticulously claw-set to enhance the ring's brilliance.
The white gold band, complements the Opal's natural beauty, adding a touch of timeless sophistication. Weighing approximately 2.1 carats, this Opal is a rare and striking gem, freeform and organic - a beautiful shape - making this ring a perfect blend of nature's artistry and expert craftsmanship—an exquisite choice for those seeking a unique and luxurious statement piece.
