Vintage 1978 18ct Gold Five Stone Opal Ring

A beautifully romantic vintage ring featuring five graduated opals set in rich 18ct yellow gold, hallmarked in 1978.

The five oval cabochon opals are arranged in a classic graduated design, with the largest stone at the centre and progressively smaller stones extending towards the shoulders.

Each opal has its own individual character, displaying enchanting flashes of turquoise, blue and vivid green, with delicate hints of pink and lavender that shimmer as the light changes.

The warm yellow gold provides a beautiful contrast to the opals’ cool, iridescent colours.

Inspired by the romantic jewellery designs of the Victorian era, the ring features an elegant elongated setting with decorative openwork and beautifully detailed shoulders.

Its gently curved profile sits comfortably across the finger, creating a distinctive yet wonderfully wearable piece of vintage jewellery.
