This design aims to capture the spirit of the evening garden when there are deep shadows, but the last rays of light highlight the flowers to provide a brilliant contrast to the surrounding darkness. Colours and textures and leaves are amazingly stunning and imposing at this time of day.
Two Ethiopian black opals (8x6 mm) provide the centrepiece of this garden (greens, reds, oranges, yellows, and purples). Six peridots suggest the flash of leaves surrounding these beautiful flowers.
Black opals are the rarest of the opal types, comprising only 8% of opals mined. They are very prized because their dark-grey to black base colour really makes the flashes of other colours explode.
The ring comprises fine silver with a patina of black rhodium and 22-karat gold accents. The setting is formed into the shape of leaves. Garden series.
Size: 6.5. Please contact us regarding resizing options.
Opal is the birthstone for October, and peridot is the birthstone for August.
Note on how to care for opals: opals are not as delicate as most people think, but a certain amount of care is necessary. Do not take showers or do dishes while wearing them. They do not like dramatic changes in temperatures (but then who does?), so remember to wear gloves when out and about in the winter.
