Sally | Ethiopian Opal, Tanzanite, & Topaz Spray Ring in Sterling Silver

Mounted in a white rhodium-finished sterling silver ring, this featured prong-set Ethiopian opal gently glows with diagonal streaks of red colors in the light; occasional green and orange overtones make their appearance, further adding to the oval cut stone's character.  The north and south points of the ring are decorated by two curving rows of natural white topaz stones that hug the opal; the east and west sides of the ring showcase complementing clusters of prong-set light violet blue tanzanites.

Sourced from a Loveland, Colorado estate, the inside of the ring's shank is stamped "SAM", likely attributable to jewelry designer, Samuel Benham; the ring itself was manufactured in India.

Approximate default ring size 6.00 US.

To keep your Ethiopian opal jewelry in its best possible condition, we recommend keeping it away from water or any harsh chemicals.  Remove Ethiopian opal rings before washing your hands, bathing, and applying lotions or hand sanitizers.
