Art Deco 18ct White Gold Opal Harlequin Ring

404P
895 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An impressive 18ct gold ring set with a harlequin opal. It displays very strong iridescence of vivid green, blue and red. This ring was made in the 1920s when opals were coming in to England from Australia. The first discovery of common opals in Australia was made near Angaston by the German geologist Johannes Menge in 1849. Both the Queensland Boulder Opal and Lightning Ridge fields attracted miners in the 1880’s. The opals found were exported in large quantities world wide. The harlequin opal in this ring is top gem quality which is why it speaks for itself and does not need any other gemstones around it.
