A pretty antique opal and sapphire ring in buttery high carat gold. We believe the piece to be an assembly of two different pieces with the head of the ring being slightly more modern than the 1896 hallmarked shank, but the ring has been done beautifully and you would never know to the untrained eye.

 

The head of the ring centres around a playful opal cabochon, the natural gemstone with a blueish undertone flashing all the colours of the rainbow as it is turned on the hand. Held secure in a fine multi claw setting the opal is surrounded by a chunky halo of natural blue sapphires. The sapphires are ever so slightly different tones of blue making a characterful halo around the opal with their chunky antique facets and natural internal inclusions. There are a few areas of light wear to the gemstones but overall the ring is in excellent condition with only a few areas of tarnishing to the metal to note.
