Diamonds and opals? "An excellent combination indeed, as the diamonds lend their brilliance to these semi-precious stones, creating wonderful color effects." This is what we read shortly before Christmas 1889 in the Illustrirte Damen-Zeitung Der Bazar on the letters page, see here. The effect of combining opals with diamonds can be seen in this ring. Three dazzling opals are set next to rose-cut diamonds. The middle opal shows flashes of green, blue and subtle yellow-orange over a blue-white background, while the two flanking stones show a predominantly orange-pink play of colors. The diamonds are set between the opals and sparkle gently in triangular settings. The ring is made from high-carat yellow gold, which has a warm, almost buttery shimmer. The ring was created in the Samuel Usher manufactory, which had been based in Birmingham since 1905. In 1911, it was submitted to the Chester Assay Office for inspection. Its geometric shapes give the ring a timeless modernity - and today, as in 1911, it is a real eye-catcher.
