Australian Opal Small Ring

Elegance meets understated sophistication in this petite oval ring. A genuine opal displaying radiant flashes of blue, green, and red sits secure in a sterling silver bezel, while a clean, unadorned band allows the stone to take centre stage. The bezel setting protects the opal whilst showcasing its natural colour play from every angle. Refined and versatile, this ring suits those who prefer subtle luxury—a timeless piece that lets the opal's inherent beauty speak for itself.

 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.
