About the Item
Offered unmounted for collectors and bespoke fine jewelry, this 10.96 carat Ethiopian opal is a luminous oval cut gemstone celebrated for its vivid, shifting play of color. Curated by Merkaba Jewelry Beverly Hills, the stone displays an enchanting spectrum of fiery reds, warm golden flashes, tranquil blues, and vibrant greens that change with movement and light. Its classic oval outline enhances the opal’s visual spread and makes it an elegant choice for a custom ring, pendant, or heirloom design.
The Beauty of Ethiopian Opal
Ethiopian opals are prized for their ability to transform light into living color. This gemstone’s bright multicolor fire creates depth and personality, making it a standout addition to a curated gemstone collection and a captivating center stone for bespoke jewelry.
Oval Cut Elegance
The oval cut is timeless and versatile, offering symmetry, an elongated silhouette, and strong face up presence. It is especially flattering in jewelry design and allows the play of color to remain the focus from every angle.
Design Your Dream
Through our Design Your Dream service, this opal can be transformed into a one of a kind jewel crafted in platinum or 18K gold. Popular concepts include:
A statement ring designed to frame and protect the opal
A refined pendant that maximizes light and movement
A minimal metal setting that keeps the gemstone as the hero
Our team will guide design, proportions, and accent stone pairing to ensure a finished piece that feels intentional, luxurious, and wearable.
