The Andrew Grima signed large Australian Koroit boulder opal ring is captivating!! With this stone so perfectly set in a smooth rounded 18k yellow gold bezel on top of a teardrop tapered shank. Andrew Grima is known as the father of modernist jewelry. An interesting part of his story is that he started designing when a dealer brought in a suitcase of large gemstones to his father-in-law‘s business. Andrew worked for his FIL for two years and convinced him to buy the entire collection. He set to designing thus beginning his career. He was a very innovative designer that is well recognized by his use of large bold gemstones. The top of this ring measures 32.5 x 24.7 mm, the teardrop shank tapers from the top at 5 mm to the back at 9 mm. The fire and twisted patterns of the opal are just amazing in every sort of lighting, including just my dining room lights. This ring is approximately a size 10 and easily sizable.
