Description

Hardly any other type of ring is as characteristic of the late Victorian and early Edwardian periods as the quintessentially British five-stone ring. This type features five identical or alternating gemstones set in a row. The stones are set close together on the narrow band and secured in understated settings, giving the impression that they are floating 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 display shimmering color reflections that change with every movement, much like a kaleidoscope. Small diamond roses adorn the spaces between them. As early as 1889, when the Australian opal craze was just beginning in Europe, the German women’s magazine “Der Bazar” had this to say about this combination: “Truly an excellent arrangement, as the brilliant-cut diamonds lend their brilliance to these semi-precious stones, thereby producing wonderful color effects.”” (Der Bazar, Vol. 35, 1889, No. 48, December 23, 1894, p. 509.) The ring is crafted from high-karat gold and, according to its hallmark, was submitted for inspection in Chester in 1906. It is in excellent condition and captivates with its beautiful opals, whose reflections sparkle with every movement.
