Four square-cut tsavorite garnets sit at the cardinal points of the surrounding white gold frame, their rich green echoing the opal's vibrant flashes. The clean, architectural setting provides a sophisticated contrast to the gemstone's organic character, keeping the opal's exceptional carving and natural beauty as the focal point.
