As the ring moves through the light, the stone displays a beautiful and constantly changing play-of-color, with visible flashes of red, orange, pink, green and blue across its light body color. Its generous 6.77-carat size gives the ring exceptional presence on the hand while allowing the natural character of the opal to take center stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSurrounding the opal is a dramatic halo of marquise-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.02 carats. Rather than a traditional round-diamond halo, the elongated marquise diamonds radiate outward around the opal, creating an elegant petal-like silhouette and giving the ring wonderful dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is particularly beautiful. Platinum forms the primary structure of the ring, providing the crisp white backdrop traditionally favored for diamond-set fine jewelry, while 18K yellow gold is used in portions of the setting and prong work. The subtle mixed-metal construction adds another layer of craftsmanship and character to the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe combination of the colorful opal, bright marquise diamonds and substantial precious-metal construction gives this ring the kind of presence that is difficult to reproduce in modern jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd that is part of the appeal of a great vintage opal: there simply isn’t another one exactly like it. Its individual pattern and play-of-color change constantly depending on the light and viewing angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDetails\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCenter Stone: Australian Opal\u003cbr\u003e\nOpal Weight: Approx. 6.77 carats\u003cbr\u003e\nCut: Oval cabochon\u003cbr\u003e\nPlay-of-Color: Visible flashes of red, orange, pink, green and blue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiamonds: Approx. 1.02 carats total weight\u003cbr\u003e\nDiamond Cut: Marquise cut\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrimary Metal: Platinum\u003cbr\u003e\nAccent Metal: 18K yellow gold\u003cbr\u003e\nConstruction: Platinum setting with 18K yellow gold incorporated into portions of the setting\/prong work\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRing Size: Approx.
