Story
The beauty of a black Australian opal is recognized worldwide. Typically these gems are characterized by a dark body hue against which the play of colors pop.
Cut into an oval cabochon (one of the best forms for presentation), this 2.70 carat Australian black opal delights in displaying deep blues and greens. Six brilliant cut diamonds, total weight .28 carats (H-I color; SI2-3 clarity) accent the vibrancy of these tones.
Platinum is the metal of choice for the mounting with simple prongs securing the opal and collets for the diamonds. The open work under gallery exhibits a pierced trefoil design banded by platinum.
