Description from the seller

This splendid ring is made of 925 silver and enhanced by a magnificent Mexican fire opal, set in a smooth and elegant mounting. The gem displays a suggestive combination of deep red and bright orange tones, with natural transparencies that create a visual effect of extraordinary depth.
