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. This
ring is handcrafted in platinum, the shoulders are both filigree like
lace looking down your finger but also geometric from above. From every
way the ring is viewed the setting is gorgeous and the opal dazzles with
colors that just POP!It is a size 8 US sizing and is sizable within a large range. Inside
the shank a metal fineness mark for platinum is present this confirmed
by testing. The ring weighs approximately 5.6 grams.

photos form part of the description. 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.
