Georgian jewellers used this technique to protect the delicate opal and, in some cases, used tinted foils to enhance its color play. These opals are almost exclusively \"cabochon-cut\" (smooth and rounded), which best displays their internal fire. You will often find them set in high-carat gold, which has developed a rich, deep patina over the last 200 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntricate Georgian Designs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesign motifs in this era often included \"halo\" settings, where the central opal was encircled by small garnets or diamonds. You may also see \"Giardinetti\" or \"Little Garden\" styles, where opals were used to represent the petals of a flower. The metalwork is often characterised by \"cannetille\" (fine gold wirework) or hand-engraved shanks that show the thumbprint of the original artisan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Magical Proposal with History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProposing with a georgian opal engagement ring is a way to offer a piece of \"frozen lightning.\" The opal has long been associated with \"hope\" and \"love,\" and its constantly shifting colors represent the multi-faceted nature of a deep relationship.
