This handmade filigree ring with a beautiful opal has a romantic Gothic feel to it, but has an appeal to everyone. and available in either .925 sterling silver or antique bronze. The style is based on the 1950's style with swirls and scrollwork.
The master mold comes from a retired jewellery shop here in town. The bezel is a scalloped bezel good for setting stones.

Details:
- Ring Dimensions: 1.3cm wide, 4.5mm high.
- Materials: available in either .925 sterling silver, a mix of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper, OR antique bronze, a mix of 90% copper and 10% tin. Both are free of nickel, zinc or cadmium, which are common metal allergens, which can cause rashes and sores. For more info on bronze, read my blog post or consult my FAQ.
- Gemstone Facts: This ring is set with a 5x7mm Ethiopian opal. The opals I have can vary from one to the next in colour and clarity, so the one in the picture and the one I make you will be slightly different than the one photographed. Do feel free to ask for pictures if you want to see the exact one that will be in your ring, but I promise you'll love it! I have a limit number of them on hand, but I do go to gem shows twice a year to restock on these stones because they are so beautiful.

Ethiopian opal is believed to be an old gemstone. In 1939, an anthropologist found evidence of use of the opal by early man in a cave in Kenya. It was not until the mid 1990s when the opal was re-discovered and mining was begun. Good Ethiopian opals have diverse play of colours from neon reds, oranges, green, blue, white, yellow, brown and a fire colour in a translucent background. Ethiopian fire opals have striking pattern formations which make each opal unique.
Perfect as an engagement ring, a unique accessory, or a thoughtful gift, this sterling silver Vintage Style Filigree Ring with Ethiopian Opal is ideal for those who appreciate the grace of romantic fashion. Let it become a cherished addition to your collection, embodying the enduring allure of a bygone era.
When the package arrived and I took it out of the sending envelope, I was pleasently suprised by a beautiful tiny little box with my prized birthday package waiting to be discovered. Once I opened the box to discover a beautifully done filigree style vintage ring, my expectations had been blown away. I took it out of the box, placed my ring on my finger and went outside in the sun to see what the opal looked like under the natural light. As soon as the sun hit the opal it flared with brillant green, specks of red, and lines of blue.
Overall beautiful work, price for the service and work was well worth it. I am impressed and my conjoint was happy with my choice.
