England, the country on the other side of the English Channel, was known on our side of the sea as "Albion" for many centuries. It is not quite clear where this word comes from. It could be Celtic, or it could go back to the Latin "albus", "white". After all, it is the bright chalk cliffs of Dover, which from France already announce the land on the other side of the water. But perhaps it is also the fog, which so often lies over the green hills of England as the original British weather, enticing and at the same time concealing, that gave the country this name. As a half-transparent, half-opaque veil, it hangs over the small towns, castles and manor houses like a long robe that only now and then allows a glimpse into a foreign world. This ring, probably made in England in the 1980s, presents us with an Australian precious opal in its center. The stone, cut into a cabochon, is milky white, like a veil of mist in the morning. In it flashes green, blue and red sparks, the very light of opal for which the stone is so famous. The ring sets the stone in a white gold claw setting. Ten brilliant cut diamonds totaling about 0.50 ct add sparkle to the dazzling stone. The ring itself is forged from warm, high karat yellow gold. We found this pretty piece of jewelry in Hamburg.
