Meet Lucia,

A Rare Red-On-Black Lightning Ridge Opal & Diamond Ring

Handcrafted in 14k white gold and signed by renowned Laguna Beach artist Luciano Bortone, this exquisite 1990's heirloom-quality black opal engagement ring is a true rarity.  The Lightning Ridge black opal, weighing an estimated 1.13 carats, glows with intensely sought-after red flashes against a midnight dark N2 body tone.

Measuring approximately 7mm in diameter— just larger than a pencil eraser— the opal is protectively set low, floating within a diamond-encrusted open square.  The interplay of bold geometry and organic fire makes this piece both modern and timeless.

An irreplaceable creation, perfect for an irreplaceable person.  Enjoy with care.

Approximate default ring size: 6.75 US.
