This striking balloon opal ring is set in solid 925 sterling silver, a precious metal composed of 92.5% silver. The ring features a round, bezel-set opal characterized by a vibrant play-of-color, displaying iridescent flashes of blue, green, and red that shift with the light. Encircling the central gemstone is a detailed twisted rope border, which adds a classic, handcrafted touch to the design. On either side of the focal stone, the silver band transitions into decorative, openwork scroll or filigree accents, giving the piece a vintage or boho-inspired aesthetic. The hallmark "925" stamped inside the band serves as a formal guarantee of its sterling silver purity. The ring is size 6.75. The face of the ring measures .31”L x .16”D and weighs 1.8 grams. The stone in this ring is absolutely stunning! A balloon opal is a type of "fauxpal" or lab-created opal that has the same chemical composition as a natural opal but offers added strength and stability
