ABOUT:
The glowing iridescent blue pink green color of this opal halo ring is so... mwah (chef's kiss). In combination with the unique setting and wonderful sheen and polish, this piece is quite striking.
I have a fondness for opals passed on from my lovely mom. This is vintage to Art Deco piece. I see oval opal rings frequently but this one with the halo of smaller glowing blue opal orbs give it a really wonderful color and glow. The center, larger stone has galaxy-like streaks of green with a pink undertone. But the piece as a whole reads very blue (both the center and the halo) which is what always draws me to my favorite opals. It's so fun to wear.
Please note the measurements as I have small fingers and it can be difficult to determine scale from pictures. Antique box not included.
SIZE & MEASUREMENTS:
It's a size 6 on my ring sizer mandrel. It weighs 2.7 grams. The ring face is 12x12mm and stands 8mm off the finger. The center opal is about 8x6mm. The smaller ones in the halo are about 2.3mm.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
I have opals that I do not baby - so in my opinion they are still quite wearable. But I have to say these opals are in better than most condition with such a lovely sheen and polish, very little surface wear and what is there is only seen under magnification. To the eye, the color is fabulous and it glows beautifully. A worn prong here or there typical and expected for a piece of this age, just something to keep an eye on over time.
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : )
But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
Thanks so much for looking at my items!
