The story of the design
A vivid Brazilian fire opal sits at the heart of this richly detailed cocktail ring, its 8mm cushion cut showcasing saturated orange color with the brilliance that only a faceted center stone can provide. Surrounding it, Ethiopian opal cabochons introduce luminous white body color and shifting spectral flashes, creating a striking contrast in both color and texture.
The arrangement of oval and round Ethiopian opals gives the ring its distinctive floral-inspired silhouette, while small white zircons trace the outer edges and spaces between the surrounding stones, adding a fine layer of brilliance and definition. Warm yellow gold enhances the fiery tones of the center opal and creates a cohesive setting for the softer colors of the surrounding opals.
What makes this ring especially compelling is the pairing of two very different members of the opal family: the saturated transparency and faceted brilliance of Brazilian fire opal against the softer glow and optical color of Ethiopian opal. The result is a substantial cocktail ring with exceptional color, dimension, and gemstone interest—without losing the elegance of the design.
Please note: Opal’s play-of-color may appear differently in photos depending on lighting and angle. Each stone’s color display is unique.
