Victorian Opal Ring

This striking Victorian ring, dating from around 1890, features a beautiful flush-set opal cabochon that radiates with a vivid play of colours, including captivating blues and greens. The opal is securely nestled in a solid 18K gold band.

The band is substantial, weighing an impressive 11.15 grams. It measures 8mm across at the front, where it highlights the opal, and tapers to a comfortable 4mm at the back. The English hallmark ‘GB 18ct’ confirms its high gold purity and origin.

A timeless piece of Victorian craftsmanship, this ring is a UK size N (US size 6.75). Despite its age, it remains in excellent condition, with the opal securely set and the gold band maintaining its warm lustre. Perfect for daily wear or as a meaningful addition to a curated antique jewellery collection, this ring is as enduring as the sentiments of its time.
