A lab-created oval black opal bezel-set at the centre of a moissanite starburst, on a tapered band engraved with star and crescent moon motifs — handcrafted in Jaipur in 925 sterling silver. A celestial statement ring where the dark body tone of the black opal amplifies the moissanite’s fire at the starburst centre, while the engraved night-sky motifs on the band extend the celestial theme from the setting down the entire shank.

About the Design
This ring layers two distinct celestial elements: the starburst setting at the top, and the engraved night-sky motifs on the band. The starburst is a structural feature — rays of metal radiate from the bezel-set opal, with a round moissanite set at the starburst’s centre point above the opal. The moissanite sits elevated at the apex of the starburst, catching directional light with high dispersion (fire) — the effect against the dark opal below is a point of white fire above a shifting, dark, play-of-colour background. The tapered band carries engraved star and crescent moon silhouettes, which means the celestial motif is visible on the band even when the ring rotates on the finger. The combination of bezel setting (secure, low-profile, protective of the opal’s edges) and the elevated moissanite point above it creates a layered visual depth that a flat setting would not.
About Lab-Created Black Opal
Black opal has a dark body tone (N1–N4 on the opal body tone scale) — a dark grey to black base that sits behind the play-of-colour. The dark background creates high contrast with the spectral colours that appear across the surface, making the play-of-colour appear more vivid and saturated than in white or crystal opal. Natural black opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia is among the rarest opals; lab-created black opal provides the same dark-body-tone play-of-colour at accessible pricing with consistent colour and clarity.

- Clean opal with a soft damp cloth only; no soaking
- For the engraved band channels: use a soft baby toothbrush with mild soap and warm water to gently clear debris without scratching the silver
- Remove before swimming, showering, or applying perfume and lotions
