14K Gold Ethiopian Opal Ring

The mining of precious opals began in earnest only in 1994, after the first mineral was discovered in the Menz Gishe District, in the northern part of Shewa Province. Opals from this region occur in a wide range of colors. The basic colors are most often brown, red and orange, but we can also find opals with basic yellow, white and colorless colors. Mined not far from the capital, Addis Ababa, they enchant with a magnetic play of colors, the so-called opalization, an optical effect that can only be found in opals. We have composed this beautiful specimen of yellow opal with a magnetizing red play of colors in a hand-made ring made of yellow gold, composed in a gold border. The combination of the color of the gem and the color of gold makes the item envelop the owner in a warm aura. Carry a bit of Ethiopian power with you!
