Antique Victorian Australian Opal & Old Cut Diamond Ring, Circa 1890s, 18ct Gold
An exceptional Victorian opal and diamond trilogy ring dating to the circa 1890s, crafted in 18 carat yellow gold.
The ring is set with three natural oval cabochon Australian opals displaying vivid and highly sought-after play-of-colour, with striking flashes of red, green, blue and orange throughout. Surrounding the opals are ten sparkling old cut diamonds, beautifully arranged across an ornate pierced gallery characteristic of fine late Victorian jewellery.
The craftsmanship is particularly elegant, featuring intricate scrolling openwork beneath the setting and finely detailed diamond-set shoulders, giving the ring remarkable presence and refinement from every angle.
The opals remain exceptionally lively and bright, while the old cut diamonds provide soft antique brilliance and contrast beautifully against the rich gold setting.
A highly wearable and beautifully preserved Victorian ring with outstanding colour, craftsmanship and antique character.
