23.75ct. white opal & ruby (1.00ct. tw.) dinner ring, sz. 7, 14kt., 18.1gr. $3,250.00 CAD. 206-00652
Jewellery should be fun, and I can’t think of anything more fun when it comes to jewellery than a colourful 23.75 carat white opal ring! It’s more than the weight of this monster opal, it’s how the weight is distributed.
White opals are opaque, so being cut overly deep does nothing to enhance the appearance, it just makes them difficult to set and weigh more. This opal is all about how is faces up, and it faces up huge, measuring 36.0mm x 20.4mm and only 5.7mm in depth.
The depth is more than enough to provide adequate strength but not so deep as to add useless additional weight. What you get with this one of a kind ring is a genuine rainbow coloured party on your finger. The cabochon cut opal is bezel set with a complete frame of gold to protect the gem’s edges. If a 23 carat opal isn’t enough, it has been embellished with 34 round faceted natural rubies measuring 1.8mm diameter. The bright red accents add a further 1.o0 carat of gem weight to this over the top dinner ring.
It measures a finger size 7 and can easily be made bigger or smaller to fit any finger you wish. It’s not just about the monster opal, this custom made ring was crafted to a high standard using over 13 grams (net weight) of 14 karat yellow gold. Large rings require structural integrity and thoughtful design. A solid shank measuring 3.1mm wide with cathedral shoulders ties the pierced contoured gallery together.
The large opal exhibits classic pinfire play of colour characterized by a mesmerizing pastel colours arranged in tightly packed pinpoint flashes of spectral colours scattered across the gem’s surface.
Still images can never do a ring like this justice, this playful ring must be seen in person. Almost impossible to duplicate and estate priced at $3,250.00 CAD. Stock #206-00652.
