Description

This exquisite natural Australian opal and diamond handmade platinum ring almost defies belief in the intensity of the colors of the untreated unenhanced Australian opal and the dazzling play of color it exhibits in every lighting condition and from every angle. Actually the photos don't do justice to how the colors move and dance across the opal. They are like intense floral bouquets or then again just like the best fireworks with clouds and splashes of layered color. Every color of the rainbow is present with unbridled neon intensity and vivid saturation - and there is so much red! The colors and patterns are layered into the opal the complexity of the play of color breath taking. This large Museum worthy precious Australian opal weighs an estimated 4.5 carats. It measures approximately 14.5mm x 10.6mm x 4.5mm. The shape is a slightly asymmetrical cabochon showing some natural divets to the sides of the cabochon in places. It is shaped this way because this sort of gem material is so rare and so precious cutting for symmetry and losing any of the precious gem where the whole opal is such exceptional quality would devalue the opal. The cutter instead polished only as required from the rough and it displays beautifully in it's natural form as a free form cabochon too!There are six points of old cut fine white diamonds F/G/H in color and VS in clarity.This makes the total opal and diamond weight here 4.56 carats.

Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings. Without light no color can be seen with precious opal in different lights and from different angles the patterns and colors change as do the intensity of the patterns. The photos here demonstrate just some of the endless variations of how this opal presents in person.
