Edwardian 18ct Gold & Platinum Heart Shaped Opal & Diamond Ring

469T
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty 18ct gold ring that was made circa 1900-1910. It has been set with a heart shaped opal with two diamonds on either side in platinum millegrained settings. The opal displays a myriad of colours, mainly blue and green with flashes of red. The rainbow effect is because there is a tiny amount of water within the stone. Opals were being imported from the recently discovered mine fields in Australia at that time so they were a very popular choice in a jewel. Brooches, bracelets, pendants and necklaces were often set with these amazingly beautiful stones. This ring is a lovely example.
