Meet Merlee,

A Vintage, Round Fire Opal & Diamond Filigree Ring

Crafted in platinum during Japan's post-World War II luxury revival, this 2.28ct fire opal engagement ring blends delicate Art Deco-inspired filigree with the magic of a natural Mexican fire opal.  Cleverly cut into a soft, off-center gumdrop shape, the opal appears as a perfect round orb when viewed from above, glowing from within as brilliant red and green flames dance across its warm crystal body.
-
Four marquise-cut diamonds accent the over 8mm opal, adding just the right touch of elegance.  Dainty, delicate, and impossible to replicate, this fiery ring is a rare token of passion— perfect for those who love boldly and timelessly.
-
Default ring size 6.25 US.
