This special hand-hammered ring is made with a boulder opal and 14k gold by the Sante Fe jewelry designer Tony Malmed.

This opal has a vibrant multicolor flash that is dominated by turquoise and sandwiched between a brown matrix. It has an organic design that reveals the layering of the stone, also resembling the river-way of an abstracted Southwestern landscape.

The opal is bezel-set, 5 carats, and measures 17.03 x 12.85 mm. The ring is a size 8 and it weighs 12.6 grams. It's marked with "TM" and "14K".

Tony Malmed is known for selecting the finest of stones, creating inspired pieces that are one-of-a-kind. He’s adopted ancient practices in his own work, like the hand hammering of this ring.

This a unique and beautiful ring that would make an excellent gift of addition to your jewelry collection.
