Some pieces of jewelry are conversation starters. Others are conversation stoppers — so breathtakingly beautiful and unexpected that one glimpse is enough to make you lose your train of thought. And when two of the greatest gemstone discoveries of the past century team up in a setting that can only be described as inspired, you can expect a lot of unfinished sentences.
For centuries, Colombia was home to the world’s finest emeralds. But recent discoveries in Zambia have matched Colombian emeralds for rich, vivid color and incredible natural clarity and hardness. More recently still, a major discovery in the Wollo Province of Ethiopia upended the opal market, yielding opals with spectacular fire and play of color. Here, we’ve showcased the beauty of these natural stones alongside the skill of some of our finest artisans by nesting a 1-1/8-carat oval-cut Zambian emerald in the center of a 7 5/8-carat oval-cut Ethiopian opal for a truly unique ring presentation that’s sure to garner attention. If that weren’t enough, these spectacular specimens are framed by 50 rounds of genuine white diamond in a 14k gold setting. Experience the deep green of emerald and the kaleidoscopic iridescence of opal as you’ve never seen them before.
