THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1950s ESTATE PIECE IN 14K YELLOW GOLD THAT I PURCHASED AT AUCTION LAST YEAR IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA. IT IS A CUSTOM MADE PIECE TO ACCOMMODATE A BRIGHT FULL COLOR AUSTRALIAN SOLID BLACK OPAL WITH TWELVE ROUND WHITE OPALS. THESE ARE THE TYPE OF PIECES I AM ALWAYS LOOKING FOR, CLASSIC DESIGN AND EXCELLENT CONDITION. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A NATURAL SOLID OPAL NOT A DOUBLET OR TRIPLET. The mounting is crafted in 14k yellow gold with head of the ring measuring 19 mm by 16.5 mm across on a 1.5 mm wide band. The centre black opal measures 9 mm by 7 mm and weighs approximately 1 1/2 carats. The twelve round cut white opals are 2 mm round and have a combined weight of approximately three carats. The centre black opal is a solid Australian opal with a blue/green/red full color spectrum and has a level 4 fire on a scale of 5. The ring is a size 6 (I can resize) and has a total weight of 6.2 grams. PLEASE ENQUIRE ABOUT RESIZE. I AM SUPREMELY CONFIDENT IN MY PRODUCT AND OFFER A MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH YOUR PURCHASE. TAKE THE RISK OUT OF BUYING OPAL AND BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. Payment by Cashiers check, Money order or paypal to ensure a 24 hour turn around. Please no personal checks. Money back guarantee is minus shipping costs and is dated 7 days from receipt of jewelry. Buyer responsible for shipping and insurance. Feel free to e-mail if you have any questions. THANK YOU AND CHECK OUT MY OTHER OPAL AUCTIONS. FOR THOSE OF US THAT LOVE OPAL ABOVE ALL OTHER GEMS IT IS TIMELY TO ADVISE THAT OPAL IS BECOMING MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND AND PRICES ARE INCREASING AS THE SUPPLY OF QUALITY AUSTRALIAN OPAL DRYES UP. THE NEW SOUTH WALES OPAL MINING TOWN OF LIGHTNING RIDGE IS THE WORLDS NUMBER ONE SUPPLIER OF BLACK OPAL(OVER 90%), IN THE MIDD 1990s THE POPULATION OF THE RIDGE WAS AROUND 8,000 PEOPLE, THE CURRENT POPULATION IS BELOW 3,000 AND MOST OF THOSE ARE INVOLVED IN RURAL AND FARMING SUPPORT INDUSTRIES. THE OPAL PRODUCTION IN THE AREA HAS DROPPED TO LESS THAT 20% OF TEN YEARS AGO. OPAL IS DRYING UP IN AUSTRALIA AS IT HAS DONE IN OTHER COUNTRIES OVER THE CENTURIES AND PRICES ARE BEGINNING TO INCREASE DRAMATICALLY, IF YOU WISH TO OWN ONE OF THESE FABULOUS STONES, NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY.
