Antique Victorian Opal & Diamond Ring in 14K Gold, c. 1890 Cushion Cut Diamonds

Antique Victorian Opal & Diamond Ring in 14K Gold, c. 1890 Cushion Cut Diamonds

ABOUT: 

A little Victorian beauty with a truly mesmerizing opal. Dating to circa 1890, this antique ring features a luminous oval opal surrounded by a delicate halo of 16 tiny cushion-cut diamonds that catch and reflect the light beautifully.

The opal is the kind that makes you want to keep turning your hand. As the light moves across its surface, it flashes with beautiful shades of red, green, blue, and golden yellow, giving the stone an incredible sense of movement and life.

Set in 14 karat gold, the proportions of this ring are especially lovely. With a face measuring just over 15 millimeters, it has beautiful presence and finger coverage while still feeling delicate and entirely wearable.

There is something so special about Victorian opal jewelry, and this little ring is a wonderful example. Romantic, colorful, and full of movement, she is the sort of antique piece that feels even more beautiful each time you look at her.

CONDITION: 

Very good antique condition. The 16 antique cushion-cut diamonds have the natural variation you would expect from stones of this age and period, with some appearing slightly darker than others to the naked eye. They all catch the light beautifully, and I personally find this subtle variation adds to the charm and character of the ring.

As with all antique opals, a little extra care is important. Opals should be protected from sharp impact, harsh chemicals, and extreme changes in temperature or environment. With thoughtful care, this beautiful Victorian ring can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.

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!
