Modern Mixed Metal Wide Band Ring, Aurora Opal Designer Ring, Contemporary Jewelry, Unique One of a Kind Cocktail Ring, Created Aurora Opal
$499.00
Nature painted the Northern Lights across the sky. Ran Armstrong captured them in a ring.
This extraordinary one-of-a-kind cocktail ring showcases a breathtaking hand-cut Aurora Borealis lab-created opal cabochon — a gemstone so alive with swirling color and dancing fire that it defies easy description. Crafted in Germany using advanced opal synthesis technology, Aurora Opal produces the same mesmerizing play-of-color found in the world's finest Australian opals — cascading flashes of electric teal, violet, cobalt blue, emerald green, and warm gold that shift and transform with every turn of the hand. The freeform silhouette of this hand-cut stone means no two are ever alike, and the orientation of the stone dramatically changes the colors and patterns you see — a living, ever-changing jewel that rewards every glance.
At 3.8 carats and measuring a bold 19mm x 10mm, this is a statement center stone that commands a room. The opal is nestled in a hand-fabricated sterling silver bezel setting — a clean, architectural cradle that honors the stone's organic freeform shape while securing it with quiet precision. Beneath it, a sweeping sculptural wide band of sterling silver unfolds with bold confidence, its artistic form punctuated by warm 14kt gold accent details that add a flash of precious contrast. A carefully applied artisan patination deepens the sculptural relief of the band, enhancing every curve and contour with heirloom-quality shadow and dimension.
At 32mm across its widest point, tapering gracefully to 16mm at the sides and 9mm at the back, this band was engineered to wear as beautifully as it looks — stable, anti-roll, and effortlessly comfortable from the first moment you slip it on.
This is wearable fine art. One of a kind. Never to be made again.
