Australian Oval Opal Ring

Exquisite 9kt yellow gold, Australian Opal in an oval shape. This sophisticated piece transforms any ensemble with its timeless allure and exceptional craftsmanship.

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.
