Handmade 22k Gold Opal Ring – Horizontal Elongated Opal, Minimalist Cradle Setting, Iridescent Fire, Raw Hammered Finish

This handmade 22k gold ring showcases elegance and artisanal craftsmanship. The focal point is an elongated opal, chosen for its iridescent play of color—flashes of blues, greens, and subtle reds that shift beautifully with the light. The opal is set horizontally across the finger, giving the piece a distinctive, contemporary profile.

Rather than a traditional prong or bezel setting, the opal is secured by two parallel gold wires, creating a minimalist, open design that emphasizes the stone's natural beauty. These wires cradle the opal delicately, allowing light to pass around and beneath it, enhancing its fiery internal glow.

The 22k gold lends a rich, deep yellow tone that complements the opal’s multicolored sheen. Being high-karat, the gold has a slightly softer, more buttery texture—perfect for the organic aesthetic of a handmade piece.
