Art Nouveau 12k Boulder Opal Ring
About the Item
Boulder opals are the rarest of all natural opal varieties, comprising only 2% of Australia's total opal population. In terms of value, they are considered second only to the popular Black Opal. The name "Boulder Opal" originates from their natural formation, where they are embedded into large ironstone boulders, often retaining part of their ironstone matrix when mined. Their unique appearance includes vibrant flashes of color enhanced by the ironstone matrix, which often appears as a black, brown, or grey base below the iridescent hues. Historically, opals were believed to bring good luck when given as a gift. In the modern day, they continue to be adored worldwide and are one of the most desirable stones used in fine jewelry!
An unusual boulder opal ring from the Art Nouveau (ca1910s) era! Crafted in 12k rosy gold, the ring features an oval-shaped boulder opal held within a smooth and simple gold bezel. The opal displays an array of iridescent colors that are contained within an iron matrix base. The iridescent properties appear as swirls of shimmery color within the surrounding deep brown matrix, creating quite an eye-catching contrast. The shoulders of the ring feature a unique knot-motif cutout design, and the remainder of the band is thin and simple. The earthy tones and stylish design make this ring a fabulous everyday piece!
Measurements: The ring has a finger size of 5.25, but could easily be re-sized up or down as desired. The opal centerpiece measures 7/8" tall and 1/2" wide.
Condition: The overall condition of the ring is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the gold setting or to the opal, which is intact and free of chips or scratches.
