Description

This ring, which we discovered in Zurich, features three large and magnificent Australian full opals, cut into shimmering cabochons. The first-class stones have a delicate red base color over light blue and green. The opals are combined with four rose-cut diamonds, which enrich the magnificent ring with additional light reflections. The ring is a typical example of British jewellery from the Victorian era. Rings with several stones set next to each other were by far the most popular ring shape in the United Kingdom and several were often worn next to each other. Each ring was intended to have its own personal meaning for the wearer. And it goes without saying that gemstones from the colonies of the Empire were preferred: The rings also demonstrated pride in one's own country. The fine workmanship allows the stones' own life to come to the fore without making the ring unwieldy or difficult to wear. An excellent piece.

The ancient author Pliny described the opals he knew with the following words: "It has a fire of its own, finer than that of carbuncle, it possesses the purple spark of amethyst and the sea green of emerald and a generally incredible mixture of light."
