Gently Pre-Loved Dragon's Fire Breath Opal Sterling Silver Ring

Despite the common name of this stone, it's not a genuine mined stone at all. It is a highly-collectible man-made Czech art glass cabochon. It is very carefully crafted by fusing copper flakes into molten red glass, which gives it its distinct properties. The colors shift to flash streaks of electric blue, violet, or orange when hit by light from different angles.These shimmering inner flashes are what give the glass its "breath of fire" moniker. Set in sterling silver, the cabochon is mounted onto a thick, ornate metal band with detailed side engravings of a horse. The style is reminiscent of Victorian filigree, Southwestern Native American Jewelry or vintage Fred Harvey era style. Fred Harvey era style refers to the style of jewelry made by the Fred Harvey Company in the first half of the 20th century. The company sold the jewelry in their restaurants as souvenir items. It is 2026 and the Year of the Fire Horse. These decorative statement pieces are popular among collectors of vintage costume jewelry, fantasy-themed items and gothic accessories. Stamped Sterling.
