This sweet pipe opal is wrapped in 22k gold on an oval of 22k gold and silver bimetal*. Below is a cluster of gemstones in a rainbow of color. Swiss blue topaz, tsavorite garnet, tanzanite and pink sapphire rondelles are wrapped with 14k gold headpins and pick up just some of the many colors displayed in the opal.
The oval focal of the ring measures 16mm x 7mm with the fringe adding extra width.
The argentium silver band has a hammered and ruffled edge that measures a size 8 and can be enlarged to an 8 1/2.
*Bimetal features a layer of high-karat 22-karat yellow gold pressure-bonded to a layer of bright Argentium® Silver. The gold constitutes a full 10% of the overall weight and the Argentium constitutes the remaining 90%. The front of the piece shows the gold layer and the back is silver. This is a cost-efficient way to achieve the warm look of gold jewelry.
