This breathtaking signet ring houses a solid natural Opal cabochon. The stone weighs an impressive 3.8ct (approximately), which displays a rainbow of colours shimmering and changing as it catches the light.
The Opal is masterfully set into a chunky 18ct gold signet band, weighing a jaw-dropping 22.2 grams. The heaviest and most luxurious of this type of ring we''ve ever had!
The precious Opal is a hydrated form of silica and typically carries a water content of around 6-10%, which accounts for its luminous charm. The internal formation of the Opal allows it to take on a variety of colours, the light refracting through the crystalline structures to reveal a dynamic rainbow.
This Opal is a particularly nice colour and is truly full of fire and life, with dancing tones of orange, blue, and green in the sunlight.
This beautiful ring would make the perfect gift or a great addition to any collection.

CONDITION
This beautiful Opal solitaire ring remains in excellent condition. The 18ct gold is a bright yellow but does have some light scratches on the surface due to wear. The Opal itself is an impressive size and shows breathtaking colours, free from any cracks and just has one very small light surface blemish. This would be the perfect gift for an October baby or you can add a touch of opalescence to your personal collection!
- We can also have the ring professionally polished if desired-
