Celestial Opal Diamond Web Ring

A diamond and opal ring in 18K yellow gold, built as an open lacework web around the stone rather than a solid mount. Piercing the metal that way lets light reach the opal from the sides as well as the top, which matters more with opal than with a faceted stone: play of colour comes from inside the material, so the more light that gets in, the more of it you see. Made to be sized on request rather than sold to a fixed fit. Opals are single stones, so this one is listed with the pieces made once.
