Resting in the center of this striking piece is a round Australian crystal opal cabochon, which is bezel set within a 14kt yellow gold mounting. Surrounding the center cabochon is a border of 8 additional small prong set opal cabochons that form a beautiful halo. The opals have a wonderful translucent base tones with vibrant specks of green and blue that flash in the light. All of the smaller opals are suspended in raised prong settings with milgrain detailing and etchings between them and a decorative engraved gold design at each shoulder completing this lovely piece.
