A superbly colourful opal, with rainbow flecks of every shade, that reveal themselves in the sunshine. It is held in a raised bezel setting with a millgrain edge, typical of the edwardian era and makes a simple statement.
 
It was originally part of a brooch and we have added the new 14 carat gold band to make this ring. It remains in its original setting, just the shank is new and is fully hallmarked for 14ct Gold.
