Dome Big Black Opal Ring 18k
Big Black Opal Ring
Fine halo ring set with a big black opal and accented with diamonds in 18k.
The natural Australian black opal is greyish blue black flashing with blue.
This opal has a desirable dome, its shapeliness set into halo convey a stone that is more than its parts.
Both its extreme curvature (dome) and its size make this opal precious.
Without the red and yellow flashes, this opal takes on a sapphiric quality, this distinction stops the eye-heart.
The mosaic in blue then becomes a giveaway, reminiscent of the earth seen from space.
An opal must not only be opalescent; its opalescence must be mysterious to illuminate its beauty, this dark fiery stone is like this.
Away from light the opal is almost slate, a uniform violet black intermittently opaque and opalescent.
Then coming into light the blue black is all kinds, sometime blue and sometimes more.
An opal is hard to capture, but if you’ve seen an opal, you may anticipate it is a social creature by light.
The opal weighs 9.8ct and measures 16 x 13 x 9.5 mm.
Diamonds weigh 1.6ctw.
