Around it, the stone blazes with the full spectral fire that only the finest Australian boulder opals possess: electric greens, deep blues, flashes of magenta and violet. Every movement of the hand reveals something new. The stone came to life in the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe setting itself has a history worth noting. Originally, it held a small shell cameo, its 10ct gold frame was reimagined and married to an antique-style 14K shank — a conversion done with care and craft, resulting in a ring that wears its layered provenance beautifully. The heavily detailed surround frames the opal like a stage for the majestic eternal sunset on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique setting; conversion piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10ct yellow gold (original cameo setting); 14K yellow gold (antique replica shank), Opal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCentre Stone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Boulder opal — full spectral fire; natural hot pink heart formation at centre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.59g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5 — resizable as needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e None present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent antique condition commensurate with age and wear.
