French antique Victorian era 18K gold opal cabochon diamond halo ring
About the Item
For sale an antique 18K gold ring made from the 19th century, the Victorian era. At its heart lies a captivating semi-transparent opal cabochon, measuring approximately 5mm in diameter. Encircling this magic gemstone is a delicate frame of 16 rose-cut diamonds, each one set on silver first and then on 18K yellow gold.
The ring exudes an irresistible allure, its warm yellow hue harmonizing beautifully with the scintillating dazzle of the diamonds and the enchanting play-of-fire emanating from the opal. When worn, it commands attention, casting a spell of timeless elegance upon its wearer.
The ring is stamped with the French eagle’s head hallmark for 18K gold and a maker’s mark on the shank.
Opals, whether sourced from Australian mines, European locales, Ethiopian soil, or Mexican quarries, hold a storied place in the annals of gemstone history. Their moody allure, characterized by a magical interplay of colors, sets them apart from their counterparts. No two opals are alike; each possesses its own unique firework display of hues, with streaks of red, yellow, purple, blue, and green dancing within the stone, perpetually captivating the eye and sparking wonder.
The timeless beauty and singular charm of this opal ring make it a cherished addition to any discerning collection, a testament to the enduring allure of both Victorian craftsmanship and the enigmatic opal itself.
