To find out more about the gemstones in this ring:
Provenance
Original to c.1905, this dainty cluster ring is the epitome of charm. Set to centre with a natural precious white opal with a pleasing play-of-colour, the predominant colours seen are green, sun-set orange and a hint of violet-blue. Rub-over set with millegrain edging and surrounded by a cluster of round old-cut diamonds which have the characteristic charm and unique sparkle that antique hand-cut diamonds are so loved for.
The shoulders are delightful, tri-split with refined openwork which gracefully tapers to meet the 18ct yellow gold band. Each shoulder features a central lozenge-shaped motif which is set with a further diamond. The gallery is very low in profile and intricately pierced with chenier details. Delicate in scale but rich in character, this enchanting Edwardian cluster is full of romance and sentiment!
