BEAUTIFUL VINTAGE 1951 TRILOGY IRIDESCENT OPAL AND DIAMOND RING IN 9CT YELLOW GOLD. ONE OPAL DAMAGED

A beautiful vintage trilogy opal and diamond ring, this 9ct yellow gold ring features 3 x opals totaling 0,16 carats and 4 x 1mm diamonds. The larger central opal is oval cut with a textured 'X' in gold on either side separating it from two round cut opals. Two round cut diamonds sit top and bottom in the 'X'. The opals have a beautiful iridescence, that combined with the sparkle of the diamonds make a lovely show on the hand. The narrow shaft ends in claws that hold the gemstones and provide some openwork interest. A vintage piece, the ring is marked 1951 so we know it is 65 years old. I must point out that sadly the central opal has a chip - actually a flake - out of it; Important for me to disclose but it cannot be seen without a magnifying glass. I tried to show it in the photographs but it is hard to see even with the camera macro-lens. Hallmarked 375 for 9ct gold, the Birmingham assay mark, the jeweller's signature and the date mark for 1951, the ring is well pedigreed.

The diamond enhances inner vision and stimulates creativity, imagination, and ingenuity.
