VINTAGE 18CT GOLD FIVE STONE NATURAL OPAL AND DIAMOND RING

Five natural opals in 18ct gold, London hallmarked 1965, and the colour is the reason to buy it.
Every single stone shows red, green and blue. Not one good opal carrying the rest. All five perform. Sharp red flashes, electric green and cooler blue fire moving cleanly across the surface as the ring turns. The row reads cohesive and bright — exactly what you hope for in a five stone opal ring and rarely what you actually find.
Five graduating cabochon opals run across the top, the centre stone slightly larger, tapering evenly to each side. Small diamonds sit between each opal, adding crisp white sparks that sharpen the colour and give the top line definition.
Look beneath the stones and the craftsmanship continues. The gallery is beautifully worked with carved scroll detail that speaks of mid century goldsmithing at its most considered. This is not a plain setting. Every angle rewards a closer look.
At 7.2 grams in 18ct gold this has real presence on the hand.
