A Handmade Fire Opal Bead Spinner Ring
This unique, one-of-a-kind 18 karat yellow gold ring is beaded with five natural fire opal spheres. The opals cover a range of body colors, from light yellow to orangey yellow to reddish orange. Some of the opals spin in their setting by design, flashing green, red, and blue color play as they do. Four of the opals are in excellent condition, with one end stone appearing to have been repaired.
