This ring has been designed around a special stone – a precious black opal. The gemstone displays a spectacular interplay of blue and green tones on a dark background, as if you were looking at the iridescent plumage of a kingfisher or a rare butterfly. Three marquise-cut diamonds accompany the opal on the left and right. The stones are set in high-carat white gold. Black opals come almost exclusively from the famous Lightning Ridge mines in Australia. This stone is also a natural Australian opal. Its shape is slightly asymmetrical: oval, but not equally rounded on both sides. This makes the stone an exciting contrast to the design of the ring, which has a strict, abstract symmetry in keeping with the taste of the 1960s. The use of marquise-cut diamonds is also typical of the time. We have commissioned an independent lab report and appraisal of the materials, which will be delivered with the wonderful ring. We discovered the piece in Munich.

Hardly any other gemstone is surrounded by as many myths and legends as the opal. Many cultures used it as a talisman to bring beauty, luck and success to its wearer; the Greeks even attributed the stone with the power of prophecy. So it's no wonder that we are still attracted to the ever-changing play of colors of gemstones from the deserts of Australia.
