A very pretty Victorian 18ct yellow gold precious opal and rose cut diamond seven stone cluster ring dating from circa 1900. The delightful ring now will into its 120th year has a central set rose cut diamond around which seven precious opals sit with a rainbow of colours including electric blues, greens, purples and reds. These cabochon opals most likely originated from Australia where opals were first mined in the late 19th century and became one of the most sought after gems of the elites of the period. The shoulders of the ring are further designed with a hand carved cursive detailing common for rings of the Victorian era.
