Meet Trish,

A Heavy 18k White Gold and Diamond Halo Ring Featuring a 2.86ct Pear-Shaped Ethiopian Opal

Simple, classic, and heavily crafted from over 7 grams of solid 18k white gold, this pear-shaped halo ring is anchored by a 2.86ct Ethiopian fire opal.  The stone exhibits a highly distinct, light-dependent personality.  Under artificial indoor lighting, the opal's rolling colors are broad, displaying sweeping red and green flashes across its subtle greenish body tone.  In natural sunlight, the optical physics shift: the play of color separates, offering fewer distinct, confetti-like pinpoints of fire for a quieter, yet equally compelling, visual experience.

Framing the center stone is a halo of 26 round brilliant-cut diamonds (0.41ctw, SI clarity) that add exactly the right amount of high-end scintillation without overwhelming the opal.  The substantial gold architecture and classic design make this piece dressy enough for formal occasions, yet understated enough for daily wear—positioning it as a prime candidate for an alternative engagement ring or a versatile luxury staple.

Default ring size: 7.00 US.

Care Note: Ethiopian opals are hydrophane and will absorb liquids, which can alter their color and clarity.  To keep this ring in pristine condition, it must be removed before washing hands, applying hand sanitizer, applying lotions, or swimming.
