14.35ct Black Opal 'Entourage' Ring

Ref. 302760 Back to Phenomenal Gems

Details

Oscar Heyman’s signature 'entourage' setting maximizes the impact of this gem-quality Australian black opal weighing over 14 carats. The play-of-color reveals a finely distributed pinfire pattern, with vivid flashes of blue, green, yellow, and orange. Formed over millions of years as silica-rich water filled natural voids in sedimentary rock and gradually hardened, black opals capture light within a microscopic internal structure that diffracts color. A striking expression of geological artistry, it captures the rare interplay of structure, light, and natural formation.

Care

Design

Oscar Heyman is defined by an uncompromising pursuit of rare and exceptional gemstones. Thousands of gems are evaluated using exacting standards for color, luster, and cut, yet only a select few are chosen. Among them are remarkable “phenomenal gems,” whose unique inclusions and crystal structures transform as light moves across their surface. Opals are celebrated for their play-of-color, a prismatic phenomenon created as light diffracts through microscopic silica spheres, producing flashes of shifting color.
