Hailing from France during the enchanting Belle Époque era (roughly 1890s-1914), this piece promises a story, marrying the soulful depth of a precious gem with the timeless sparkle of diamonds.
At the heart of this treasure lies a magnificent luminous opal, a celestial orb that seems to hold the very essence of the cosmos. As you turn it, prepare to be mesmerized by a captivating play of light, as vibrant hues of blue, green, and fiery orange mysteriously dance and overlay its milky depths. Each shift in light reveals a new facet of its magical personality.
Encircling this enchanting opal is a halo of 14 chunky old-mine cut diamonds. These antique cuts, renowned for their distinct charm and warm, inviting sparkle, radiate an exquisite brilliance that perfectly complements the opal's ethereal glow. Each diamond is securely set with delicate prongs, a hallmark of the era's meticulous attention to detail.
The substantial 18k yellow gold band, with its unique and graceful shape, provides a warm, rich foundation for the sparkling crown. This ring beautifully bridges the gap between eras – it's a testament to the masterful craftsmanship and elegant design sensibilities of Belle Époque French jewelers.
It is a true rare cross of old-world charm and modern sensibility.
