14k Gold Black Australian Opal Ring

I was looking for suggestions for finding special rings when hoganfe, on Twitter, suggested a combination (like Aqua and Red). That was enough to get me looking around and it resulted in my finding a brilliant Black Opal 14K Ring.

Just look at this picture to see the play-of-color magic in this Australian Black Opal.

You should really go look at the auction on eBay because there are six, or so, pictures that really show how dynamic the play-of-color is in this stone. What a unique ring! The buy it now price is $284.62, down from $379.50 and you can also make an offer on the ring, if you feel like a lucky haggler.

The metal is 14k yellow gold and the stone is an Australian black opal in an oval shape. The stone is 1.59 carat. Here are some more notes from the auction:

A Large 1.59 carat Oval BLACK Opal with BRIGHT B3 PINFIRE and Flagstone Block Patterns of REDS, BLUES, ORANGES, YELLOWS and INDIGO in a N4 BLACK base density. This 10.5x8.3 mm Opal Oval is protected by a 13x11 mm Bezel mounting and size 7 ring with 2.00 Grams of Solid 14K Gold beauty. The Play-Of-Color of this Opal is B3 BRIGHT, RICH to Medium Color Saturation, Constantly Changing Shapes and Flashes against the Base Density N4 (BLACK) that usually appears as Dark Grey, Blueish or Violet variations of the natural Opal's Play-Of-Color.

In Sunlight and Bright Tungsten lighting, more secondary colors will be enjoyed - LIME, MAGENTA, VIOLET, SALMON ORANGE and GREEN. This Opal is a 'face up' gemstone that shows its very brightest when the viewing light is beaming straight into the opal's face and back to your eyes as if the sun were shining over your shoulder while you admired its Play-Of-Color.

Happy ring hunting!
