Australian Opal and Green Garnet Ring
We bring to you our favorite Kent Raible 'Cigar Band' style ring of all time! Such lovely forms, with perfect balance and the fine detail intrinsic to the work of Kent Raible. We see the larger outer shape with flowing curves, then, a second band that wraps inside the first, culminating in two smaller oval gemstones! Can you imagine how this ring would look without that interior band? Well, that's the difference, the thing that sets Kent's work apart! All the perfectly balanced subtle detailing presents an elegance always found in Raible's work. Bringing it all together is Kent's museum quality gold granulation. A fiery Australian opal is paired here with another of Kent's favorite gems (and increasingly hard to come by in this color and quality), green Grossular Garnets, which have a refractive index near to diamond. Their sparkle stands up to the opals flashes of color, and complete the composition.
**Please note: The images with the models are intended to show the size and shape of this ring body on the hand. The ring the models are wearing display optional gems used in this limited edition ring style.

Can this ring be resized?
When a ring can be resized, we will often indicate how much larger or smaller the ring can be made un the details section. The size range is based on the ring's design.
The best fit will vary based on the ring's design. Someone used to wearing a size 7 may find a wide ring to fit more comfortable on the same finger as a size 7.5 for example.
Please note that resized rings are considered a final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged.
This is why we always want to you try the ring on before Kent resizes it and we do not recommend taking the ring to anyone other than Kent to resize or take care of your ring.
