A rare natural cabochon crystal opal & paste cluster ring, circa 1900
A wonderful play of colour, with dominant blues, greens and yellows is displayed in this cabochon crystal opal. With a generous weight of 7ct, its a very appropriate size to mount a cocktail ring. First crafted in the 18th century, paste gemstones were usually cut and faceted from leaded glass. This ring's Edwardian heritage is responsible for the cluster of paste gemstones, which are relatively rare nowadays and a true marker of an antique ring.
