Australian Opal Silver Ring

This striking ring showcases a triplet opal in a bezel setting that frames the stone's spectacular colour spectrum. Watch as blue, green, and red flashes ignite across the surface with every movement, revealing the full chromatic range Australian opals are renowned for. The bezel mount provides both protection and an elegant frame that enhances the stone's natural brilliance. A sophisticated choice for those who appreciate the dynamic interplay of colour that makes each opal genuinely one-of-a-kind. Ring size is 8 or P.

Unique geological formations in Australia have favored the formation of this sedimentary stone - about 140 million years ago. At that time, an inland sea, abundant with silica-rich sands, covered much of central Australia. This sea eventually receded and formed what is now known as the Great Artesian Basin. Around 30 to 40 million years ago, heavy weathering began to dissolve the silica. The holes that were formed in the rock began to collect silica-rich water. Over time, the silicates trapped in these spaces formed opals.
