    Description

    A wonderful play of colour, with dominant blues, greens and yellows is displayed in this cabochon crystal opal. With a generous weight of 7ct, its  a very appropriate size to mount a cocktail ring. First crafted in the 18th century, paste gemstones were made to stimulate the look of natural gemstones, usually cut and faceted from leaded glass.
