It has been rub over set with a stunning cabochon cut high colour opal that displays strong flashes of green and blue with red undertones. At the turn of the 20th century opals were coming in to England from Australia. The first discovery of common opals in Australia was made near Angaston by the German geologist Johannes Menge in 1849. Both the Queensland Boulder Opal and Lightning Ridge fields attracted miners in the 1880’s. The opals found were exported in large quantities world wide and became really fashionable as the “must” stone to wear! It is surrounded by fourteen small well matched good white diamonds and there is millgrain detail throughout. Wearing an opal is said to bring about loyalty and faithfulness so a good ring to give to someone that you love.
It sits low on the finger so it is a comfortable and easy ring to wear.
