Faceted Peruvian Pink Opal Gemstone Sterling Silver Ring

Sat, 05 Dec 2009 16:31:46 -0500

$68.00
This sweet princess like Peruvian Pink Opal gemstone is a nicely sized faceted 8 mm cabochon in a antique cushion cut. It nestles very snugly in my very own handmade sterling silver bezel. This ring displays an earthy, organic, vintage, handcrafted feel to it. I utilized the oxidation process to bring out the beautiful pattern in the sterling silver ring band, which gives it that vintage like feel.

The pink opal gem you see here is a baby pink, like soft pink roses. The facets create more light reflection. This ring wears comfortably and is styled as classy.

This ring is ready to go at a size: 8.75

If you would like me to make one in your size please contact me.
