Hardly any other gemstone is entwined with so many myths and legends as the opal. Many cultures used it as a talisman that was supposed to bring beauty, luck and success to its wearer; the Greeks even attributed the power of divination to the stone. No wonder, then, that we are still attracted today by the ever-changing play of colors of the gemstones from the deserts of Australia. The ring here, dating from the 2nd half of the 20th century, is crafted of white gold and holds an Australian full opal in its center. The gemstone shows a beautiful play of colors mainly of green and few blue reflections on a white background. It is accompanied on its sides by a total of six diamonds that add to its luminosity. According to its hallmark, the ring was probably made in Germany. It is in very good condition.

A dreamlike stone, the opal, whose special brilliance was already praised in the highest tones by the ancient author Pliny at the beginning of the era: "the gentler fire of the carbuncle shows itself on them; the shining purple of the amethyst shows itself; the sea green of the emerald shows itself 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, the following centuries have also revered it.
