Late Edwardian Opal Panel Ring
A stunning ring from the late Victorian period, c1915. The ring is made from solid 18ct gold and has a lovely panel design to the top. The panel has a pretty scalloped edge and is set with five fiery opals. The opals appear mainly blue with an orange glow in certain lights. The stones are all set in white gold and have white gold highlights that mimic the look of diamonds. The ring also has a pretty decorative basket to the back. A real looker on the hand!
This ring should be worn with care due to the nature of the settings and of opals themselves.
Details:

Age - Early 20th Century, c1915
