The only setting on this ring is an Australian full opal, which has been crafted as a large oval cabochon. It is a so-called milk opal, whose base color appears in a soft, opaque white. Delicate shades of green and a pastel red appear in countless iridescent sprinkles. The stone weighs more than 14 carats and most probably comes from the famous opal fields of Coober Pedy in the Australian outback, the best-known location for fine white opals. Opal mining has been carried out there since the early 20th century, often under extreme climatic conditions. The ring itself is made of yellow gold. The setting is classic: A simple but elegantly crafted frame securely surrounds the opal and highlights its natural beauty without distracting from it. The ring band widens slightly towards the ring face, giving the piece balanced proportions. Another charming detail is the openwork gallery on the underside of the ring face, which gives the piece of jewelry lightness and depth. The overall effect of the ring is impressive thanks to its timeless design and the high-quality gemstone setting: it is a classic piece that is full of character and found its way to us here in Berlin.
