This ring is exquisite! The focal point of this ornate filigree Victorian style ring is the 10x14mm Glass Cabochon which has been made in the style of a Mexican Opal also known as Dragon's Breath (made from glass not a gemstone). With each slight turn, the colors shift from deep scarlet red to lightening strikes of blues!
Mexican Opal, also known as Dragon’s Breath, is a collector’s nickname for man-made stones that are made of glass and mixed with certain metals to produce a brilliant color shifting effect. Colors shift from a deep to bright red with flashes of electric blue and even purples. The flashes of color from within the stone are known as the "breath" from which the name is derived. Mexican Opals were first used in jewelry in the early 1900’s to simulate fire/jelly opals. Highly collectible and rare – this lovely stone is a certain conversation piece and will become a cherished favorite.
10x14mm Cabochon is set securely in an adjustable filigree ring setting available in antique silver. The ring band is adjustable and fits most quite comfortably. Ring is about a size 8 as is but can be adjusted to a larger size. Please see listing photos for a size reference when worn.
Please allow approximately one week to make your order plus applicable shipping time. Jewelry will arrive in a gift box.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
: Water Resistant, but not Waterproof. Remove before bathing, swimming and water activities.
: Choking Hazard, Small Parts - Not recommended for young children.
