Black opal ring

Size 17 ring made of rhodium-plated 925 silver, with 5 Australian black opals in a polished oval cabochon shape measuring 5 x 4 mm. These beautiful and delicate stones were set with prongs one after the other, following the shape of the ring band.

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: Australia.

Properties: Brings earthly joy, opal strengthens desire, eroticism and sexuality.
