Estate 14K Gold Oval Opal & Diamond Split Shank Cocktail Ring - Size 10.5

Diamond-set split shoulders frame an oval opal cabochon in this 14-karat white gold cocktail ring. Opal's play-of-color comes from light diffracting through tiny stacked spheres of silica, so the green and orange flashes shift across its pale body as the ring turns. Four ball-tipped prongs hold the opal, with a single larger round diamond set at each side of the head where the pavé rows meet. The high setting gives the ring a bold statement profile, and the shank narrows at the back to sit close beneath the fingers.
