Summer Ring

Bold-colored Mexican fire opals and diamonds set in textured yellow gold. The almost day-glow green patches/flashes on the orange stones are the "play-of-color" naturally found in fire opals. They appear/disappear depending on the viewing angle. Quite interactive. While most opals are mined in Australia and are usually found in white and black body colors with multi-colored flashes; fire opals are generally sourced in volcanic rock formations in Southern Mexico and are obviously named after their striking color.

Here's to a hot summer....
