"Isis" Ring (Mexican Fire Opal, 22k Gold)

This 100% hand-fabricated 'Isis' ring showcases the intricate beauty of 22K granulation, expertly fused around the band and bezel. It features a 2.93 carat red orange Mexican fire opal rectangle cushion-cut center stone. This particular gems is unusual in that it is faceted on the bottom and cabochon on the top (known as a "buff-top" cut, pioneered by Bulgari). This imparts a fiery effect to the gem, as light refracts from the facets within the stone, giving it an "inner glow". This ring is a US size 8, but may be sized up or down one size, with a visible sizing bar on the back.
