Details
A remarkable Victorian opal and sapphire cluster ring, crafted in bright 18ct yellow gold and claw-set with a cosmic natural opal centrepiece. The opal shimmers with electrifying flashes of neon green, blue, and violet that fizz across its surface, complemented by a halo of deep-blue cushion-cut sapphires. Originally a striking antique Victorian brooch, the gallery and gemstones have been exquisitely transformed into a ring, complemented by a newly crafted, period-accurate 18ct gold band with elegant split shoulders.
Opal has long been regarded as a stone of hope, creativity, and passion, and enjoyed great popularity in the late 19th century, counting Queen Victoria among its most devoted admirers. Paired with deep blue sapphires, the combination evokes a celestial spectacle. Midnight skies illuminated by shimmering neon light, reminiscent of distant galaxies or the ethereal glow of the Aurora Borealis dancing across the heavens.
Beautifully preserved, the Victorian gallery retains its original character and charm. Its bold gemstone palette and low-profile setting create a striking yet wearable statement ring, breathing new life into these historic stones as they captivate on the finger in a spellbinding display of twilight brilliance.
