Description


A cabochon cut black opal has been expertly rubover set as the eye-catching centrepiece of this beautiful ring from the Edwardian period. A delicate halo of romantically sparkling old cut diamonds perfectly complements the striking rainbow display of the central opal. Each individual opal is a truly unique wonder of nature with the ethereal flashes of colour emanating from each stone hugely desired and sought after. This particular example showcases sought after reds, blues, green, oranges and yellows in a dazzling pattern. Black opals are found in the Lightning Ridge area of Australia, and were formed approximately sixty million years ago when silica rich water was carried into cracks and voids in the earth. As this water evaporated it left behind a silica deposit, which formed the beautiful opals that we know today. The very best and most sought-after black opals are rare and special gemstones, and are often set into showpiece rings, pendants and earrings. The Edwardian period only lasted for nine years (1901-1910), but it was an incredibly important era for jewellery design. Hugely intricate pieces showcasing the very best diamonds and coloured gemstones were worn with elaborate fashions from the most famous French couture houses. Driven by the explosion of court life, steered by the fashion- conscious King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, this was a truly special time.
