Black Opal Sterling Silver Ring — Natural Pear-Cut Gem

Play-of-Color Framed by 925 Silver

A natural pear-cut opal sits in a refined prong setting, its dark body tone revealing subtle flashes of green and red with movement. Formed when silica-rich waters deposit microscopic spheres in rock cavities, each stone shows a one-of-a-kind mosaic. The slim band balances everyday comfort with an elegant profile, making this ring an easy companion for minimal stacks and occasion styling.

Styling & Care

The pear silhouette lends elegance to monochrome suiting, satin blouses, and evening knits. Build a curated stack with the sleek sheen of Hematite and coordinating pieces in Hematite, or add clarity accents from Crystal Quartz across the Crystal Quartz category; moonlit contrasts pair beautifully with Moonstone styles in Moonstone. Avoid heat, harsh chemicals, and hard impacts; store separately and wipe with a soft cloth after wear to preserve the luster of your opal ring.
