This ring is designed around a special stone - a precious black opal from Australia. The gemstone shows an exciting play of colors in shades of blue and green on a dark background, just as if you were looking at the iridescent plumage of a kingfisher or a rare butterfly. Eight brilliant-cut diamonds accompany the opal on the ring face. The stones are set in high-carat white gold. Black opals come almost exclusively from the famous Lightning Ridge mines in Australia. This stone is also a natural Australian opal. Its shape is asymmetrical and follows the form in which nature has created it. It sits on a brown rock called "potch", which is the natural support layer for black opals. The stone stands in an exciting relationship to the design of the ring, which follows the contemporary taste of the 1980s. The goldsmith's work reacts to the gemstone and follows its unusual natural shape; the diamonds are loosely distributed on it and play with the ever-changing light reflections of the opal. We discovered the ring here in Berlin.
