Shakespeare called them the Queen of gems. Romans thought it was the most powerful of all gems because it displayed the colors of the world’s most precious stones. They called it “opalus” meaning “precious stone.” Opals are incredibly unique and unlike any other gem, and, with the increasing scarcity of gem-quality opals, it may soon become the most sought-after and precious of all gems.
If you think most opals come from Australia, you’re right. However, things have changed in the past ten years, when high quality opals were found in the Wollo Province of Ethiopia. This new discovery changed everything— before, Australian opal dealers were able to set the market price for opals, but now consumers have a choice – and a much more affordable one. At Stauer, when these new gemstone discoveries happen we act fast and our buyers have been able to secure the absolute best pricing on absolutely gorgeous opals.
This ring celebrates the exquisite color play Ethiopian opals are known for in a sunburst setting sparkling with white stones. The price and value of opals are climbing every year and no one knows how long deposits will last. You simply won’t find better prices for gem-quality opals than what you see here. Don’t let the sun go down on this incredible deal.
