AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A Victorian marvel, this ring from around 1920 bewitches with its majestic 30.54ct opal, cocooned in the embrace of 56 rose-cut diamonds. The blend of 18k yellow gold with silver whispers a romantic nostalgia, each sparkle a silent ode to exquisite craftsmanship. Beyond its splendour lies a mystery, a rich tapestry of untold stories, making it not just jewellery, but a bearer of centuries' whispers.

Style
Victorian - Victorian decorative arts refers to the style of decorative arts during the Victorian era. The Victorian era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historic styles and the introduction of cross-cultural influences from the middle east and Asia in furniture, fittings, and Interior decoration. Victorian design is widely viewed as having indulged in a regrettable excess of ornament. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau style have their beginnings in the late Victorian era.

- Antique and vintage jewellery often undergoes thoughtful refurbishment, remodelling, or repairs to enhance its longevity and wearability. Such pieces frequently bear marks of this tender care. Furthermore, we present our antique and vintage jewellery in its authentic state, refraining from removing scratches or applying rhodium plating to white gold items. Our priority is to preserve the genuine allure and history of each piece. However, as the new owner, you have the option to take it to a local goldsmith for a cosmetic refresh, should you choose.
