Even the ancient author Pliny praised the special brilliance of opal in the highest terms at the beginning of the Common Era: "They display the softer fire of the carbuncle; they display the brilliant purple of the amethyst; they display the sea green of the emerald and all these colors shine at the same time in an incredible mixture". As a gemstone of love and hope, but also as a symbol of dazzling love, it has been revered for centuries. This ring presents an intensely colored black opal in gold. The flat-cut black opal is a so-called doublet, i.e. a thin layer of opal glued to a carrier layer of onyx. Our stone shows a beautiful interplay of green and yellow against a blue background. The simple frame and the restrained rail are made of high-carat gold. According to the hallmark, the ring was made in Great Britain and found its way to us from the south of the island. We date this attractive piece of jewelry to the middle years of the last century.
