Diamonds and opals? "An excellent combination indeed, as the diamonds lend their brilliance to these semi-precious stones, creating wonderful color effects." This was written shortly before Christmas 1889 in the Illustrirte Damen-Zeitung Der Bazar on the letters page. This ring shows just how impressive the combination of opals and diamonds really is. Three dazzling opals are set together with cushion-cut diamonds. Over a milky blue background, the opals shimmer in shades of green and blue, with orange to pink reflections appearing in the right light. The old-cut diamonds set in between sparkle gently in triangular settings and accentuate the play of colors of the opals. The ring is made from high-carat yellow gold, which gives the ring a beautiful warmth with its slightly buttery color. The piece was made by the Henry Hyde & Sons manufactory, which has been based in Birmingham since 1901. In 1907, it was submitted to the Birmingham Assay Office for official testing of its fineness. Two years later, in 1909, the ring was given as a gift - a fine hand engraving with the monogram "M.F.C. 1909" is a reminder of this. With its clear, geometric shapes, the ring has a timeless elegance and remains a real eye-catcher today.
