Overview:
Finely detailed antique Victorian era opal & diamond ring (circa 1880s to 1900s) crafted in 10k yellow gold.
Opal cabochon measures 5.5mm, accented with 14 estimated 0.02 carat old rose cut diamonds. The total diamond weight is estimated at 0.28 carats (estimated at J-K color and SI2-I1 clarity). The opal shows light wear (surface abrasions visible under a 10x loupe).
The colorful natural opal is securely set in the mount, bordered with a halo of sparkling old rose cut diamonds. The low rise ring (6mm - 0.23 inches) sits nicely on the finger. Ideal worn on the pinky finger or as a right hand ring for everyday wear.
The ring is in good condition. We have not cleaned it in order to preserve the patina and collector value.
