There's something magical about the glow of opals.
Here are some Antique Opal Rings to feast your eyes on.

What makes this Ring unique is that the opal cabochon is emerald cut. 
The natural opal is set into a two-tone 
14K gold setting and accented by diamonds.
I have a feeling that the pictures may not be doing 
justice to this ring and that it's much lovelier in reality.
