Opal Ring 1.65ct in Sterling Silver with 18K Yellow Gold accents

This handcrafted ring centers on a 1.65-carat round Australian opal, 9mm across, drawn from the Lambina field of South Australia and chosen for its lively play-of-color. The fire shifts as the light catches it and your hand moves, so the ring looks different with every turn, and it stands on its own without surrounding stones.

Here the opal is set in sterling silver accented with solid 18-karat yellow gold, a richer gold that brings deeper warmth to the cool silver and frames the stone. This opal ring comes in US ring sizes 5.5 to 9.5. Richard Lewis makes it by hand, so it’s one of a kind and will never be exactly duplicated. Since opal is relatively soft, keep its wear gentle: avoid hard knocks and ultrasonic cleaners, and clean it with nothing harsher than a soft, damp cloth.
