French Victorian Opal Ring with Rose Cut Diamonds in 18K Gold & Silver, Circa 1900

French Victorian Opal & Rose Cut Diamond Ring
Circa 1900 · France

ABOUT: 

Opals are admired for their refined play of color and elegance, and this luminous beauty is no exception. Antique French opal rings rarely linger, and the last example I offered sold almost immediately. This Victorian-era ring, crafted in France around 1900, was sourced through my trusted Paris dealer and centers a luminous cabochon-cut opal that seems to glow from within. Soft flashes of pale yellow, ocean blues, fresh greens, and hints of violet dance across its translucent surface, shifting beautifully with the light.

Surrounding the opal is a delicate halo of rose-cut diamonds, set in silver in the traditional manner of the period to enhance their soft, candlelit sparkle. The setting rests on an 18K yellow gold band, creating that classic French contrast of precious metals so beloved at the turn of the century.

Hallmarked with the French eagle head, this ring is a true antique treasure—elegant, romantic, and rich with history.

CONDITION: 

The ring shows light signs of wear consistent with age, with the antique silver setting remaining intact.

All of the jewelry listed here is antique and pre-owned, meaning it may show signs of wear, which is a testament to its rich history and the stories it carries. Far from being “perfect” or “brand new,” this is what makes antique pieces so special – they’ve been loved, cherished, and worn over time. I believe that these imperfections only add to their character and charm, and they’re ready for their next chapter with you.

As with all antique jewelry, the stones may show subtle signs of wear, like surface abrasions or a natural patina, which only add to their unique character. Antique cuts and settings can differ from modern styles, contributing to their charm and individuality. Any significant imperfections or repairs will be clearly noted in the listings. Thank you for appreciating the beauty of their uniqueness!

Shipping insurance is required and INCLUDED in cost for any item over $200 to ensure your purchase is fully protected during transit. This listing will also include a signature upon delivery.
