A high-end water opal ring that was sold at a department store for more than double the price. Due to the high price, it didn't sell for two years and was returned to the workshop where it was made. I acquired it through an introduction between dealers. Made by a long-established workshop in Okachimachi that produces jewelry for department stores, the appraisal certificate was obtained in 2023. In recent years, beautiful and large water opals have become more expensive even in Mexico, and imports have drastically decreased in the last 4-5 years. It's rare to find a piece like this with a blue color like water, transparency, and a plump size. The large loose stone displays a lot of fine, sparkling play-of-color in all sorts of colors. There are some inclusions, but it's the kind of piece that has fine, glittering pinfire-like flashes. The base color is incredibly blue and transparent, with almost no orange. Because the stone quality is very clear and the fine sparkle is difficult to capture with a smartphone camera, you can enjoy a brilliance and play-of-color that exceeds the video with the naked eye. "Wow, water opals sparkle this much!?" The play-of-color is amazing! The quality of the stone, its round size, and the beautiful white diamonds on the sides further emphasize the whiteness, and the sense of luxury is unparalleled. The large water opal is wonderful, but the beauty of the diamonds and the quality of the design make this a highly recommended piece of jewelry! As expected of department store quality, please pay attention to the weight and "class" of the ring design that matches the loose stone. Highly recommended for customers who fit the size and those who prefer authentic, high-class jewelry.
