A Late Victorian Opal Ring with Rose Cut Diamond Halo, circa 1880

A Late Victorian ring, circa 1880, centred by a softly glowing opal within a border of rose cut diamonds. The warm red gold setting and finely pierced openwork gallery give the jewel a delicate height, allowing light to pass beneath the stones. Gentle flashes of colour move across the opal, held in contrast by the subdued sparkle of the antique diamonds, making this a refined and quietly enchanting Victorian ring.
