Hardly any other gemstone is surrounded by as many myths and legends as the opal. Many cultures used it as a talisman to bring beauty, luck and success to its wearer; the Greeks even attributed the stone with the power of prophecy. So it is no wonder that we are still attracted to the ever-changing play of colors of these gemstones today. The opal in the center of this ring comes from the famous mines of Coober Pedy in Australia and displays a wonderful play of colors. The milky, dove-blue base color shows mainly the colors green and blue, depending on the incidence of light. The gemstone is cut as a flat cabochon. It is held at the sides by a sturdy frame, which is hardly visually noticeable. Nothing distracts from the beauty of the opal, which changes its appearance like a kaleidoscope with every movement. Two navette-cut rubies accompany the opal on the right and left, adding their red sparkle. The frames of the gemstones are made of platinum, while the open undercut and the simple ring band are made of 14-karat white gold. The light color does not push itself into the foreground and gives the setting plenty of room to unfold its natural beauty. The ring was probably made in Germany around 1960. However, the design language is international. We have had the opal re-polished so that it shines like it did on the first day.
