This is a large opal ring, like a painting of the sea. It's set horizontally, making the opal the focal point and giving it a strong presence on the finger. However, the stone itself has a gentle turquoise hue, with a soft play of color that shifts with the light. Although it's large, it won't stand out too much and is easy to wear. Also, it's not thick, so it doesn't feel heavy. The setting has a very fine milgrain pattern that's barely noticeable. The silver gently sparkles against the blue opal. Materials: Semi-black opal, silver925 Size: Approximately size 12-13 Rhodium plating keeps the shine, so no polishing is needed.
