Fairy Dust for your Finger

Posted on Jun 6, 2015

$125.00 | This beautiful .45 ct opal comes from Lightning Ridge Australia.  I hand cut the opal from rough to reveal it’s fire and set the cabochon in a beautiful 0.925 Sterling Silver filigree ring. The opal is rated with a B3 brightness in a milky white base.  It’s pinfire color sparkles like green fairy dust along with salmon red, blue, and gold.  Watch out though.  Get this in the sun and you’ll end up mesmerized! Because this is a natural stone it does have a couple of small pits on the bottom side of the cab.  The face of the opal has a high polish, very smooth.  You can see better in the video. Ring Size: 8 US Cabochon Size: 6 mm round, 0.45 ct Metal: Sterling Silver Stone: Lightning Ridge Opal from Australia. Available on Etsy....
