A Vibrant Green-Blue Lightning Ridge Crystal Opal Solitaire Ring

Handcrafted from platinum in Japan between the late 1940's and early 1960's, this Art Deco-inspired opal solitaire ring plays its brightest in natural sunlight.  Photos do little justice to the delicate, peacock feather-like swirls of green, teal, and dark, pearlescent blue that combine together in the opal's crystal-clear body.  A natural, eye-visible fissure inclusion runs across one quadrant of the opal's edge when viewed from certain angles under certain lights.
-
Intentionally left in its original, textured condition, the shank of the ring reduces light reflection and attracts more attention to the opal that it holds; the inside of the shank is stamped with its original, pre-1970's Japanese "Pm" platinum hallmark.  Ready for the next era of its life, this piece is perfect for the one who treasures beauty, nature, and history.

Default ring size 5.00 US.
