Three magnificent cabochon-cut Australian opals in a gentle gradient, accompanied by four small diamonds, adorn this gold ring, which was made in Great Britain in 1919. The year of origin is revealed by the sequence of stamps inside the ring band. The misty opaque opals unfold delicate red tones and a vibrant green over a background of light blue and white, which lights up vividly when exposed to light. It is not surprising to find a British opal ring from the era of King George V: these precious gemstones had only been discovered a few decades earlier in the outback of the then British crown colony of Australia. From there, they arrived as coveted treasures in the jewelry metropolis of the British Empire and from the end of the 19th century were turned into extraordinary pieces of jewellery - pieces of jewellery that not only told of the beauty of the stones, but also of the vastness of the colonies and the big, wide world under the British flag. In those years, diamonds were sourced from India and South Africa. A ring like this one combines gemstones from far-flung parts of the world to create a miniature piece of history. The ring is in very good condition and impresses with its opals, whose light reflections flash with every movement and lend it an almost magical vibrancy. It came to us from London.
