The heat of a magnificent Mexican fire opal is balanced by the icy beauty of diamonds in this tempestuous ring. Weighing an amazing 11.59, the cabochon opal displays the signature bold cherry red and orange hues for which this unique stone is known. Bound by 2.25 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds and set in platinum, this stone reveals all of its best qualities. Thought to convey foresight and good health, Mexican fire opals are singular among the world’s opals for their bright and almost uniform color. Revered since pre-historic times, the gem is said to have been used by the Aztecs to decorate their most prized artworks and figurines.
