American Gem Collection Trailblazer

March to the beat of your own drum when you wear American Gem Collection design #230, “Trailblazer!” This ring is a fiery statement crafted in 14k yellow gold. Sparkling along the band are .05 carats of diamonds, which accent the Oregon Fire Opal at the center of this ring. The glowing fire opal weighs 2.31 carats, and is cut to a gorgeous trillion shape. True to its name, this stunning gemstone was born from fire. Fire opal is created when water seeps into lava flows, filling small pockets. Under immense heat and pressure, it combines with silica from the lava, and creates the gem we know and love. For centuries, fire opal has been revered in Mayan and Aztec cultures, who believed that this gem brought confidence, energy, and joy. They called it the gem of the bird of paradise. The vibrant color is reminiscent of the summer sunset over the endless horizon. Be confident in your goals and take charge of your direction when you’re wearing “Trailblazer!”
