Contemporary Ring with Opal & Diamonds in Rose Gold, From Our Workshop

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

In this ring from our workshop, sparkling white diamonds surround an opal. Cut into an oval cabochon, the stone from Australia shines in all the colors of the rainbow. Red, yellow and green sparks glow above a milky white body, depending on the angle from which you look at it. Two more diamonds lead to the ring band on the right and left. In total, more than half a carat of brilliant-cut diamonds are gathered together. The stones are set in high-carat gold with a slightly reddish sheen. This gives the ring a beautiful warm color. We designed the ring based on rings from the 1890s. The diamond cluster motif was very fashionable at the time, as was jewellery with opals. Diamonds came onto the market in large quantities from South Africa for the first time, while opals from Australia reached Europe towards the end of the century. The design language of those years therefore seemed appropriate for the combination of both gemstones: the delicate settings, which are completely restrained in relation to the gemstones, and the warm color of the gold are typical of jewellery from those years. The diamonds in this ring are vintage stones, which we use here in second use to make the ring as sustainable as possible. The gold is also recycled from pieces of jewellery that we were unfortunately unable to restore. In this ring, together with a newly cut opal, they have been given a new lease of life.

Australia is famous for the most beautiful opals in the world. But did you know that jewelry with Australian precious opals has not been around for that long? The first European to discover opals in Australia was the German geologist Johannes Menge. He found opals north of Adelaide in 1841 - but little attention was paid to these finds, as they were not yet precious opals in jewelry quality. The first precious opal finds were not documented until 1872, and commercial mining began in Queensland in the 1890s.
