Fire Opal and Diamond Bracelet in 14K WG

Born in the fiery ancient volcanoes of Mexico and Oregon, fire opal glows like the sun. Its molten yellows, oranges, and reds are so bright they look as though they might glow in the dark. Unlike most opal, which is valued for rainbow play of color, fire opal is valued for its pure bright and hot body color, which adds fire to your jewelry wardrobe.

14K white gold is the most popular white precious jewelry metal. Its pale glow is the perfect setting for cool-toned gems. Since gold is naturally golden yellow in color, to make 14K white gold, 58.5% gold is alloyed with white metals, usually silver, zinc, palladium, or nickel. These metals also improve the hardness, durability and affordability of white gold jewelry, since pure gold scratches fairly easily. To get that bright shine, most white gold jewelry is also plated with rhodium, a platinum group metal.
