About the Item

Natural 17.23 Carat Heart-Shaped Ethiopian Opal Loose Gemstone by Merkaba Jewelry Beverly Hills Offered unmounted, this natural 17.23 carat heart-shaped Ethiopian Opal is a rare and romantic gemstone selected for collectors and custom jewelry clients who want something truly unique. Cut into a bold heart silhouette, the stone presents exceptional presence and an unmistakable play of color that shifts through vibrant flashes under changing light. The combination of substantial carat weight and an elegant heart shape makes this opal ideal for a statement pendant, a one of a kind cocktail ring, or an heirloom design created to celebrate a meaningful milestone. Ethiopian opal is prized for its vivid, living color and this gemstone is no exception. Its dynamic fire brings a luminous character that feels both modern and timeless, making it equally suited for collectors who appreciate rare natural gems and for clients who want a centerpiece stone with emotional impact. Design Your Dream, Custom Setting Available Merkaba Jewelry Beverly Hills offers a Design Your Dream service for clients who would like to transform this loose opal into a finished jewel.
