Description
This simple and elegant vintage ring is set with a 0.66-carat white opal cabochon adorned with two single-cut diamonds in 10K white gold. The opal’s interesting play-of-color is predominantly green and blue. A fantastic vintage ring for an October baby!
Despite the common myth, opals are not bad luck! They were mentioned in a book from 1829 by Sir Walter Scott called “Anne of Geierstein,” where the opal changed color with the protagonist’s moods. Before then, opals were considered among the luckiest stones in numerous cultures; even the ancient Bedouin tribes believed they contained lightning.
The ring is in very good vintage condition with minimal signs of wear. The gold has fine lines and scratches from years of wear, which is typical of vintage jewelry. The shank is stamped 10K. The opal is not crazed but does have one fine hairline crack on the side. The prongs securely hold the stones and do not wiggle in the mounting. A GIA Graduate Gemologist tested the gems.
The ring is a size 6.25; it can be sized and weighs 1.41 grams. The opal measures 10 mm x 4 mm x 3 mm and weighs 0.66 carats. The two diamonds are 1.5 mm each and weigh 0.02 carats in total. The box is for display only.
