Black Opal and Tanzanite Ring

Size 16 ring crafted in rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver with three oval-cut Australian black opals in cabochon style, surrounded by 3mm circular faceted tanzanites. The design combines the dark tones of the opal and its characteristic green, red, and yellow hues of opalescence with the violet hue of the tanzanites.

Black Opal:

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.
