Today, opals are widely known gemstones and are among the classic gemstones used in jewelry. Most of the precious opals used today come from Australia, where they are usually mined underground by individual opal seekers. But did you know that the first precious opal to be found in Australia was by a German researcher? It was the geologist Johannes Menge who discovered and scientifically recorded the first Australian opal in 1841. However, the earliest precious jewelry with opals can only be traced back to 1872. As Australia was still an English colony in those years, it is not surprising that most of these early pieces of jewelry with opals were made in England - where the vast majority of the dazzling gemstones were exported. This ring was also made in England in the years around 1900. The protagonists of the ring are three wonderfully radiant opals. They are accompanied by six small old-cut diamonds, four of which are effectively set between the bright opals. The misty white opals show a delicate red as the base color over light blue and white, which glows when the light hits it. The middle stone also shows some remnants of the parent rock in which it was formed millions of years ago between the brightly colored fields. The ring was probably created in England around 1900. It is very well preserved, only the central opal has been replaced more recently. Its fine workmanship allows the special life of the stones to come into its own without making the ring unwieldy or difficult to wear.
