Sourced from Australia's most famous opal fields, the stone was hand-cut and polished on our own wheels to highlight its highly prized, glass-like semi-translucent body, which fires with a deep, floating play-of-color when caught in natural light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThe gemstone is held securely by four prominent, polished split-claw prongs, raising it elegantly above a heavy, wide-profile band.

To protect the hand-polished finish of the stone and preserve the deep, dark contrasts of the hammered silver grain, always remove this ring before swimming, heavy hands-on labor, or handling harsh chemicals.
