Fire Opal and Cubic Zirconia Ring

Ring No. 15 crafted in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver with a 9 x 7 mm teardrop-cut fire opal, accompanied by cubic zirconia. The opal is located in the center, set with prongs and surrounded by cubic zirconia, continuing onto the ring with leaf-shaped designs crafted in silver.

The play of colors in opal is due to the refraction of light within the cristobalite microspheres. In Greek mythology, it was said to have originated from the tears of Zeus's good fortune after his victory over the Titans. In India, it is the goddess of the rainbow, solidified into stone when she fled from the troublesome gods. Fire opal owes its color to its iron content; the range of colors extends from yellow to orange to brown and red.

Origin: Mexico.
