Sparkly diamonds decorate the North, South, East, and West of a gorgeously fiery white opal cabochon. Opal takes its name from the Roman opalus which translates to "precious stone". Ancient Romans also called the opal Paederos (translated as "Cupid"), a pet name for the gemstone to describe its unimpeachable beauty. For the woman purchasing this ring for herself, you may reap a valuable benefit, too: use an opal to release your inhibitions and channel optimism and creativity.
