Black Crystal Opal Solitaire Ring in Yellow Gold Bezel

In the jewelry world, the term 'black opal' refers to stones with a dark, opaque body color, while 'crystal opal' describes those that are translucent with a lighter body tone. Rarer still are gems from Lightning Ridge, Australia, known as 'black crystal opals'—a unique variety that combines dark body color with high transparency, resulting in exceptional depth and play of color. The opal in this particular ring is one of these rare black crystal opals, making it an extraordinary and highly collectible piece.

This opal features striking green hues set against a dark gray background, with occasional blue and gold highlights. With an impressive size of nearly 3/4 inch long, it is set in a low-profile gold bezel on a split shank setting, making it comfortable for everyday wear. This opal is more visually stunning in person than in photos and boasts an excellent design for daily wear. If you're searching for an opal engagement ring or a stylish everyday opal birthstone ring, this may be the perfect choice!
