Arts & Crafts Silver & Gold, Water Opal Ring

A very pretty silver Arts and Crafts ring that was made circa 1900-1910. It has been set with a water opal that displays orange, green and blue flashes. It is raised with a rope edging. On either side is a little gold flower with two gold leaves. The shank is a reeded design. I would attribute this ring to be possibly by Arthur Gaskin. Arthur and his wife Georgie Gaskin started producing jewellery from 1899 under the name “Mr & Mrs Arthur Gaskin”, and in 1903 Arthur was appointed headmaster of the Vittoria Street School for Jewellers and Silversmiths, where he was to remain until 1924, when the couple retired to Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire.
