A superb antique three stone opal and old cut diamond ring, set in 18ct gold and dating from the Edwardian era.
Set with three large natural oval cabochon opals and four old cut diamonds of excellent quality. The lustrous opals are full of colourful light and have an amazing play of colour. Very difficult to pick one colour to single out, it’s truly the full spectrum of a rainbow, with very strong reds, blues, yellows and greens. There are strong flashes of orange and red in every single one!
The centre opal cabochon is approx .75ct, measures 8.4 x 5.9mm and the two opals on the sides measure 5.9 x 4.5mm The four old cut diamonds twinkle beautifully, have lovely colour and clarity and weigh a total of 0.28tcw. They have lovely little puffy crowns under magnification and are extremely sparkly! The face of the ring measures 17.7mm wide. Securely claw set and just gorgeous! The shank is slightly thinning to to the back, but nothing serious to note.
