AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The King of Opals:
From my personal collection Opalwanted I present these AAA+++ Opal cufflinks with red-blue flashes and intense glints. These oval opal cabochons with origin treatment display a vibrant and deep play of color: red and orange flashes that emerge as witnesses of fire. The gems have been hand-polished to reveal their inner scenes with utmost dignity.
Origin: Ethiopia (Welo)
Type: Natural AAA+++ Opal Cufflinks
Shapes: Oval cabochons
Play of color: Very vivid, visible from multiple angles
Ideal use: High jewelry, collection, or as witness gems
These cufflinks are not offered as simple gems, but as acts of recognition. Contained flames, ready to be mounted or kept as ritual scenes.
These precious stones with a dark base have undergone a “smoking” treatment performed in origin, a traditional process applied exclusively to Ethiopian opals to darken the base in a stable manner and thus intensify the color play contrast. This treatment, when declared correctly, is accepted in the international market and allows for a deeper and more dramatic visual effect.
The result is cabochons with a homogeneous and elegant black, where the colors emerge with exceptional strength.
Gem type: Opals with dark base (smoking treatment at origin)
Play of color: Very vivid, with intense and striking flashes visible from multiple angles
Tonal range: Black + Multicolor
Individual weight: 5.5 Ct
Total weight of the set: 11 Ct
Approximate measurements: 16 mm × 12 mm
These pieces stand out for their visual presence, their strong contrast, and their versatility, ideal for high-impact jewelry or for a specialized collection.
It is said that the ancient Greeks believed opal to be the solidified tears of Zeus, fallen from Olympus upon witnessing the beauty of the universe. In Roman mythology, it was said that this gem contained the hope of all colors, a fragment of the rainbow trapped in stone.
These AAA+++, with red, green, and blue flashes, seem to hold within them the fire of Prometheus, the glow of Aphrodite’s stars, and the depth of Hades’ mysteries. Each flash is like a myth reborn: a hidden universe that only reveals itself to those who behold it with reverence.
These cufflinks are a legendary talisman, symbol of power, protection, and ancient magic. A jewel worthy of emperors and heroes, ready to find a new guardian at this auction.
