Provenance
Original to c.1905, this Edwardian five stone ring is set with the most incredible natural precious opals. Set to centre is a spectacular cushion shaped opal displaying a magnificent range of iridescent colours. It's play-of-colour is evenly distributed throughout the stone, and the combined affect of all five opals each catching the light differently and displaying its own colours is a sight to behold. Every colour imaginable is produced by these stones, and their impressive optical effect is complimented well by the tiny single-cut diamonds interspersed throughout. The opals are all claw set in this beautiful five-stone design and sit above an ornate decorative gallery - a joy to view from every angle!
