Did/does he do work with faceted Onyx? My grandmother who is 90 has a ring almost exactly like that she's worn for as long as I can remember. Only difference is hers is a faceted Onyx. I think she said she got it in the south west at a roadside jewlelry stand in the40's or 50's. She's always wondered if it was worth much.

It looks like fire opal... not Australian opal to me... Nice ring...

Hi OP, it's the same ring I posted previously, the paua shell (also called abalone) on your ring just has a nicer color variation.
