Date 1902! Opal Ring in 18ct Gold
Date 1902! Opal Ring in 18ct Gold
The ring features five natural opals, cut in smooth oval cabochons which is a traditional cut chosen to best display the gemstone’s remarkable play of colour. Each Opal exhibits shifting flashes of green, pink, and blue, a phenomenon unique to Opal caused by the way light interacts with its internal structure. Unlike faceted stones, Opals are graded primarily for brightness, colour play, and pattern rather than clarity or cut precision; the stones in this ring show lively colour and pleasing uniformity.
This ring was hallmarked in Birmingham in 1902 by CBB who we unfortunately can’t find further information on.
This ring weighs 4.6 grams and is currently a Size Q. It is both elegant and comfortable to wear, with a beautifully balanced setting that highlights the natural character of each gemstone.Stylistically, this ring reflects the refined taste of the late Victorian to early Edwardian period, when opals were highly fashionable and often used in romantic and feminine jewellery designs. The open gallery and carefully formed claw setting demonstrate skilled hand craftsmanship, allowing light to reach the stones while keeping them secure.
Antique Opal Rings from this period are increasingly sought after, particularly examples that retain their original hallmarks and well-preserved stones. This piece would suit anyone who appreciates delicate Antique Jewellery, Birthstone Jewellery for October, or rings with soft colour and historic charm.
It can be worn as a dress ring, an alternative engagement ring, or a stacking piece alongside other antique bands. What makes this ring especially special is its combination of genuine Edwardian-era origin, beautiful natural opals, and timeless design. This is a piece that has already endured more than a century and remains as captivating today as when it was
