Super vintage 18ct gold opal and diamond ring, set with five graduated oval opals across the front of the band, with small diamonds set in gold points between and around the opals. The opals show the play of colour opal is known for, with flashes of green, pink and blue across a pale body. This is a design typical of the Victorian revival style.
What is play of colour in an opal?
Play of colour is the term for the flashes of shifting colour seen across an opal as it moves in the light. It is caused by the way light passes through the microscopic structure of the stone, and it is the feature opals are most valued for. No two opals show exactly the same pattern, so each stone is individual.
