Natural Australian Opal Teardrop Ring – Black Colour Enhanced

This Australian opal ring sets a pear-shaped faceted natural Australian opal, colour enhanced with a black dye treatment, in a four-claw setting on a slim platinum plated 925 sterling silver band.

The opal is about 7 × 9 mm, and the darker body colour makes its flashes of blue, green, violet, red and orange stand out. Every opal is one of a kind: choose your size and opal, and the ring in the photo is the exact ring you'll receive. A striking October birthday gift.
