Natural black fire opal ring made with a AAA top quality grade 8x6mm oval faceted black fire opal gemstone, which is set into a beautiful vintage filigree bypass style sterling silver setting with rhodium plating and lightly oxidized finish. The antiqued silver finish helps to highlight every detail of the band design, so that the ring still looks simple but unique in its own way showing great craftsmanship and manufacturing quality that is seen in the high end fine jewelry. The opal in the ring has multicolored vibrant fire throughout and includes a wide range of colors. There is red, orange, green and purple in any possible combination - every opal is unique and has its own character, which comes to life under different lighting angles- it’s a very cheerful and beautiful stone that looks lovely in this vintage looking unique ring setting design. The ring is a very nice gift idea for someone who needs cheering up: opals are always fun! ____________ 🟣THE OPAL: ▪️ Origin: natural, earth-mined, solid and sustainably sourced without artificial means; ▪️Quality grade: AAA (standard quality grade for opals I sell via this store)- high quality opal with fire/play of color visible under natural light and under artificial light; AAA+/AAAA - exceptionally beautiful bright opal with rarely occurring features (such as red colored fire) and coloring; ▪️ Size: 8x6mm; ▪️ Weight: approximately 0.7-0.9 ct; ▪️ Shape and Cut: oval faceted; ▪️Variations: cabochon oval cut opal can be used in this setting as well; ▪️ Brightness: 5 ▪️Play Of Color: small flashes, pin fire or honeycomb pattern arranged colors with vibrant bright glowing lights appearing over the dark base tone- light colored base is indicative of poor quality of the opal even if the fire of the stone is bright. It is the sudden contrast of the fire colors that pop over dark background that makes up the mysterious and incredibly appealing effect that defines more valuable quality black opals; _______________ 🟣THE SETTING: ▪️Style: Victorian inspired ▪️ Metal: solid 925 sterling silver; ▪️Variations: can be made with a cabochon cut oval 8x6mm opal instead; ▪️Main Stone Size: 8x6mm ; ▪️Accent Stones: none; ▪️Optional features: comes in size 5,6,7,8 and 9.

I NEVER use doublets/triplets opals, artificially enhanced, chemically dyed or so called “smoked” opals. Ethiopian Opal has to be heat treated as every other colored gemstone on the market in order to change its base tone to dark color. However, it is NOT THE SAME as “smoking”, and does not destroy the stone’s natural beauty or its original structure and composition which are responsible for producing the play of color in each opal. ▪️I VERIFY AUTHENTICITY of the PRECIOUS METALS and other GEMSTONES to ensure consistent high quality standard for every product I offer at this shop which starts with the suppliers I work with on regular basis, using my own original designs and doing my best to make sure that the materials I use are GUARANTEED TO BE AUTHENTIC, SUSTAINABLE, HYPOALLERGENIC and SAFE. 🔗https://www.kissedbyfirejewelry.com/post/1207779968213/the-beauty-of-ethiopian-opals-a-tale-of ___________ 🟣CARE INSTRUCTIONS: ▪️Please make sure that you keep your Opal jewelry AWAY FROM ALL LIQUIDS, and wear it with caution when it comes to any activity: natural opal is a fragile gemstone. ▪️PLEASE READ THE COMPLETE ARTICLE: 🔗https://www.kissedbyfirejewelry.com/post/126677434969/opal-jewelry-care-instructions ___________ 🟣PHOTO DISCLAIMER: ▪️When you are shopping for colored gemstones, please keep in mind that SOME MINOR DIFFERENCE IN GEMSTONE COLORING IS INEVITABLE AND IS TO BE EXPECTED.
