Black Opal Ring – Play Of Color
Take a look at this wonderful example of play of color in a black opal ring.
The term play of color refers to the way in which colors change as an opal moves. So an opal ring will flash and sparkle with a rich variety of prismatic colors as you move your hand or as the light source moves. The change in color can be very dramatic in black opal jewelry. You October birthstone gals are very lucky!

And if you’re thinking “well, it doesn’t look black to me!” remember the term black opal is referring to the background color not all those beautiful colors shimmering and a’changing in all their glory.
The images are enlarged so that you can really see how gorgeous this ring is. The actual dimensions of this opal are 9mm x 7mm.
