ITEM DESCRIPTION:
In our Custom Gold Collection© we hand-select the finest opals from the mines and combine them with rich 14K gold and brilliant diamonds. Each piece is masterfully designed and hand-made with the utmost attention to detail so you may effortlessly enjoy this stunning creation. Heirloom quality so you may cherish it now and for years to come.
Ring Notes: Beautiful split shank design with a sparkling diamond carefully nestled into the split on each side. Very elegant. Solid 14K gold with mirror like polish.
Opal Notes: Beautiful pinfire opal with a lovely pearlescent quality. In low room lighting I easily see lots of red and green fire coming out of it from arms length and beyond. In brighter lights gold and purple join the color mix.
Its a true "dinner stone" which means it looks stunning in night lights. When I look at the opal with nothing but the flame of a single candle I see an absolutely stunning color show. I am sure you will love it.
The ring has a solid opal - not synthetic, not a doublet or a triplet. It was mined from the earth, skillfully cut from the rough form into its current finished form, and then masterfully set into the setting you see.
In our jewelry, no synthetic gemstones of any kind are ever used and only solid precious metals are used - never plated.
**This ring can be re-sized for $75 - $175 depending on whether you need it smaller or larger. Re-sizing will delay shipment by about 10 business days. Please contact me for details.

How to choose opals
If you happen to be new to the world of opals then please know this: only about 10% of all mined opal is gem grade opal with the rest being colorless potch. If you have ever seen an opal that looked dull with almost no color inside of it then you saw a very low quality opal. We are offering much higher quality opals. When you acquire an opal from us you are getting an opal that has been hand-selected for its unique characteristics by an opal expert who spends nearly all of his time working with opals.
How do I know which opal to buy: One question people often ask is, “how do I know which opal to buy?” Opals are exceptionally rare and beautiful gemstones. They have fire inside of them that flashes and rolls as you move them around. To me, it seems that each opal has energy trapped inside of it; almost like an eternal sunset. As the colors flash and roll, it’s almost as if the opal is telling a story. So, as you look at the opal, listen to it. You should buy the opal “that speaks to you.”
About Our Pictures and Videos
When you hold an opal in your hand, it should look better in your hand than the images used to show it - not the other way around. It is never our intention to portray an opal better in our images than it appears in real life. The images you see are accurate to the best of our digital limitations. Generally, with the opal in hand, you will see higher luster with greater depth and liveliness than the images portray.
You should know that it is impossible to express the exact nature of an opal in images. Many opals look different under different lighting conditions. Make sure to look at your opal with the sun at your back and coming over your shoulder. Not all opals look best in full sunlight. Some opals look better with less light and some opals look drastically different on cloudy days or in the morning light. I hope you have fun exploring the wonderful world of opal.
