14k Gold Black Opal Solitaire Ring
This is a fine jewelry ring featuring a prominent oval-cut black opal as its centerpiece, measuring approximately 11.7mm by 10mm. The opal exhibits a dark play-of-color with visible flashes of neon green, electric blue, and hints of orange-yellow against a deep body tone, characteristic of high-quality Australian black opals. The stone is secured in a four-prong setting crafted from 14k yellow gold, which provides a warm contrast to the cool tones of the gemstone. The band appears to be a classic, polished gold shank in a size 6.5. The craftsmanship indicates a minimalist solitaire style, likely dating from the late 20th century to the modern era, focusing purely on the natural beauty of the opal. The stone shows a smooth, high-domed cabochon cut with no immediate visible surface cracks or crazing, though a loupe would be required for a definitive structural assessment. The prongs are well-seated, though the lower-left prong shows slight wear consistent with regular use. The overall condition appears to be excellent for a vintage or pre-owned piece, with the gold maintaining a high luster and no significant abrasions to the table of the stone.
