These beautiful rings were specially designed by the goldsmith and needed 15 pieces of matching Opal inlaid in them.
In the photo below you can see that he has set a beautiful trillion Pink Tourmaline in one of the rings.
The ring on the right later had a large Diamond mounted in the opening.
We spend hours going through our rough Opal material to find this many matching pieces.
At left you can see the finished ring.
You can see that the piece next to the pink Tourmaline needed to be carved and shaped in a V shape to fit the design.
In the ring on the right, the Opals are inside the prongs, which makes it more difficult to fit and then polish the inlays.
