Opal is a very special gemstone. Its extraordinary play of colors cannot be compared to anything else and secures it a special position in the realm of precious stones. Even in ancient times, opal was particularly prized and transfigured into the tears of joy of the gods in mythology. This enthusiasm is immediately understandable when looking at the opal set in the center of this ring. Shaped as an oval cabochon, the gemstone displays an iridescent play of colors in which the light of the rainbow seems to blend in. The ring has the classic shape of a so-called "entourage ring", in which the central stone in the middle is surrounded by a ring of diamonds. The term comes from the French "entourer", which means "to accompany" or "to surround". This ring shape was already popular in the Baroque period and has lost none of its appeal to this day. In our case, the opal is combined with eighteen diamonds in the historic rose cut, which enrich the exquisite ring with their additional sparkle. Here, the opal and diamonds are set in 15-karat gold. The fine workmanship allows the special life of the opal to come into its own. The ring was created in Great Britain around 1900.
