Frame a gemstone with majesty and shimmer in your own opal engagement ring design.
Opal is October’s birthstone and has healing properties said to lift spirts and bring light to your life.
Aside from its positive symbolism, this delicate gemstone has unique colourings perfect for mystical and vintage inspired designs, pairing well with a diamond.
Tom says: “The iridescence of a white opal is the most iconic and thought of, but the gemstone isn’t limited to those colourings. The shades of pink, yellow and blue vary in depth, but one thing stays the same- they’re at their best in an oval or round cabochon cut.”
