An impressive 18ct white gold ring with a platinum top that was made circa 1920. It has been claw set with a large fire opal that has an approximate weight of just under three and a quarter carats. Fire opals are amazing stones and are found in Mexico. The Mayas and Aztecs loved this gemstone and used it in mosaics and for ritualistic purposes. They called it \u201cquetzalitzlipyollitli\u201d, the \u201cThe bird of paradise stone\u201d. The stone knowledge of Mexico\u2019s natives, which had been handed down for generations sank into oblivion for a long time until in the early 1800s, the fiery treasures hidden in the Mexican highlands were remembered, and mining gradually started again. \u00a0There are further rose diamonds set in to each of the shoulders that add extra sparkle to this amazing ring and millgrain detail on the shoulders.<\/p>\n
