Fire for Your Finger

This outstanding opal ring features a large and fiery stone with flashes not only of vivid blue and green, but scarcer, and therefore highly desirable, red. Eight glowing red rubies complement the opal's brilliant colors. The beautiful vintage setting of gleaming 14 karat gold features stylized flowers with ruby centers and textured oval leaves.

The birthstone for October, in ancient times opals were considered extremely lucky and powerful talismans, as they were said to possess the virtues of every gemstone whose color was represented in the opal's ever-changing colors. An opal wrapped in a bay leaf was thought to grant invisibility. 

While we cannot promise this rich and refulgent ring will make you invisible, it certainly will get you noticed! One of the rubies has a ding, but overall the stunning ring is in wonderful shape and ready to wear.
