This is an unusual Silver Ring "Emerald In The Basket".
You can see a video of this ring on YouTube from here:

Natural Colombian Emerald Cabochon is held by two "handles" of the "basket" and the small Ethiopian Opal is set in the center of the ring.
The back of the Emerald is open to see it through.
As a common nature of cabochons, some inclusions and tiny voids are present in the main stone.
Embossed copper accents around the ring.
To enhance the effect of Copper and Silver I oxidize it and then polish everything to highlight the metal. Copper has a protective coating to prevent it from further tarnishing.
AS A CUSTOM ORDER, THE COPPER ACCENTS CAN BE REPLACED WITH GOLD. Please contact me for pricing.
The size of the ring is US-7.5
The size of the Emerald is 12.5mm by 10mm by 6mm or 5.7 Carats.
The size of the Opal cabochon is 3mm.
I highly regard hand made work and for this reason I am not using molds or casts to create my jewelry. All items are fabricated from Sterling and Copper.
