Victorian Antique Opal and Diamond Cluster Engagement Ring late 19th century 18ct gold, Circa 1880.
The central elongated cabochon opal presents such a dreamy yet refreshing colour with vibrant blues and specs of teal/greens that are particularly highlighted under natural sunlight.
Depending on the angle and lighting, the colour changes in such an enchanting manner with a pinkish-orange hue of fire that can also reveal itself. In our opinion, the opals are most likely of Australian origin due to their colour distribution and hydrophobic (non-water absorbent) characteristics.
Furthermore, the striking old rose cut diamond clusters beautifully complement the opal and sparkle wonderfully under lighting. Attention to detail is further apparent where cluster diamonds have been meticulously set in fine mounts with hardly any gaps, maximising the gem's surface area and complementing its overall dazzling appearance.
The ring is unmarked, as is common with articles of this period, and as such we have tested it, indicating 18ct gold.
