Black Crystal Opal Solitaire Ring in Yellow Gold Bezel

In opal terminology, a black opal has a dark and opaque body color, while a crystal opal is translucent with a light body color. So we call the rare gems from Lightning Ridge, Australia, which feature dark colors and high transparency, “black crystal opals.” This particular gem features a highly directional play of color, meaning that as the opal is worn, the color dances across its surface. This opal has striking green hues against a dark grey background, with occasional blue and gold highlights. The large opal, almost 3/4 inch long, is set in a low-profile gold bezel on a split shank setting that is comfortable for everyday wear. This is a fun opal - far more impressive than photos can show- and an excellent daily wear ring design. If you are looking for an opal engagement ring or an everyday opal birthstone ring, this may be for you!
