Late Victorian Opal & Diamond Cluster

Antique ring centered with an oval cabochon opal of approximately 1.41 carats surrounded by 10 old European cut diamonds of approximately 1.80 carats and mounted in 18k yellow gold. Circa 1900.

Nothing beats a beautiful opal set with a halo of diamonds! The band is delicate and thin making this ring very comfortable and light on the finger. 

Diamond and gold mining has caused devastation in areas such as Africa, wreaking havoc on delicate ecosystems and communities. Choosing to go vintage, you are eliminating the need for more mining and lessening the demand for new diamonds.
