England, the country on the other side of the English Channel, was known as "Albion" on our side of the sea for many centuries. It is not entirely clear where this word comes from. It could be Celtic, or go back to the Latin "albus", "white". After all, it is the bright chalk cliffs of Dover that herald the land on the other side of the water from France. But perhaps it is also the fog, which so often lies over the green hills of England, enticing and at the same time concealing, that gave the country its name. Like a half-transparent, half-opaque veil, it drifts in front of the small villages, castles and manor houses, like a long robe that only occasionally allows a glimpse into a strange world. This ring from England features three precious Australian opals at its center. The cabochon-cut stones are misty and colorful. Gentle blue, green and red sparks flash against a bright, white background - the famous opal light for which the stones are so famous. Four small 8/8-cut diamonds are set between the opals, enhancing the play of colors with small highlights. The ring, which follows models from the time of Queen Victoria, was created in Birmingham in 1969, according to its hallmark. In Great Britain, jewellery in the successful forms of the turn of the century continued to be created well into the 20th century. It came to us from the south of England.
