It has been set with three claw set opals that are particularly good specimens and display a myriad of flashing colours, red, green and blue. When Australian opals appeared on the world market around 1890, the Hungarian mines spread the idea that they were not genuine, probably because gems with such brilliant fire had not been seen before. Australia eventually assumed the mantle of premier opal producer of the world, becoming famous for Lightning Ridge’s colourful and rare black and crystal stones. So they were an exciting new stone and became very fashionable in the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.
There are small old mine cut diamonds that add a little bit of extra sparkle to this glorious ring.
This is the best three stone opalOpals occur in a range of body colours from white, black or grey, bright orangey red and a pale watery colour. The most precious opals show strong colour contrast and generally have a dark body colour with a vivid array of colour play. ring that I have ever seen.
