Written by Olly Gerrish

A striking 18ct gold ring set with a large oval black opal. Black opals are the most desirable opals. The first recorded black opal was found in Lightning Ridge, Australia in 1873. It is the only place where black opals are sourced. This ring was made circa 1920-1930. It displays vivid green and blue flashes and looks fabulous on the finger.
