As a rule the very best & highest quality stones are strictly reserved for our 14ct Gold range. Occasionally I set a few of the very best stones in the Sterling Silver range, this is one of those occasions. When we applied this concept to all the smaller stone size designs of Men's rings, it was so successful, that I decided to up the ante & apply the same strategy to our biggest stone size Men's rings..If you are prepared to pay a premium for the very best quality Opal , without the extra expense of a Solid Gold setting, this could suit. The ring is made from Sterling Silver & is Semi “J” backed with ornate workings. The Gem Plus grade Triplet Opal is 18x13 mm Oval & of the highest quality, the biggest standard Oval of our Men's Ring Range. The design is basically plain with some engraved fluted sections on the sides of the shank. The 14ct Gold version of this design sells for in excess of $1200. The Hand Cut Natural Triplet Opal is from the “Southern Cross” Field at Cooper Pedy in South Australia. The Quartz cap on the stone is very hard & scratch resistant. We offer a lifetime guarantee on the stone, against lifting due to water damage. Should this occur the stone will be replaced free of charge. This Ring is currently size “R ” or 8 5/8 US” but can be resized for free. It is a stunning looking Ring.
