Description

Hardly any other type of ring is as characteristic of the late Victorian and early Edwardian period as the typically British "5-Stone Ring". This ring presents five identical or alternating gemstones in a row. The stones are set close together on the narrow band and have restrained settings so that they appear to float on the finger. This ring, which came to us from London, follows this popular British style from the turn of the century and features five shimmering opals. The high-quality Australian gemstones have a bluish base color and show shimmering color reflections that change with every movement, like a kaleidoscope. As early as 1889, when the Australian opal fashion was just beginning in Europe, the German ladies' magazine "Der Bazar" wrote about this combination: "It is indeed an excellent combination, as the diamonds lend their brilliance to these semi-precious stones and thus produce wonderful color effects." (Der Bazar, 35th year 1889, No. 48, December 23, 1894, p. 509) The ring is made of high-carat gold and, according to the hallmark, was made in 1902 in the Henry Hyde & Sons manufactory in Birmingham. It is very well preserved and enchants with its beautiful opals, whose light reflections flare up with every movement.
