Katherine Jetter’s Poison Berry Ring

It is an absolute joy when you come across an innovative jewelry designer whom you have never before seen. It is like unexpectedly coming across a truly fantastic book in the rack at the grocery store. When you are walking along — or browsing along, as the case may be — unawares and suddenly come across a piece so beautiful it takes your breath away, well … that is truly something to remember.

Behold, then, the Poison Berry Ring, from Australian jewelry designer, Katherine Jetter. As you can see, this designer definitely loves opals, and she uses them with a discerning and innovative eye. Here, the petals are made of carved opal and they surround a rubellite center, the stone being 4.30 karat. Micropave diamonds of 2.80 carats and a tsavorite twist complete the gorgeous picture.

While the ring is a bit steep at $14,000, you get your money’s worth in the craftsmanship alone.

    What a stunner! I’ve never seen opals used that way and the band is just incredible.
