Edwardian 18ct Gold, Opal & Diamond Cluster Ring

27Y
80 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty 18ct gold ring that was made in the early 1900s. It has been set with a very lively opal that displays flashes of blue, green and red. Because opal has the colours of other gems, the Romans thought it was the most precious and powerful of all. The Bedouins believed that opals contained lightning and fell from the sky during thunderstorms. When Australia’s mines began to produce opals commercially in the 1890s, it quickly became the world’s primary source for this October birthstone. Around it are eight well matched old mine cut diamonds.

It would make a wonderful engagement or dress ring.
