Vintage Platinum 1.43ctw Oval Boulder Opal w Step Cut Diamond Sides Ring

Oh, the colours in this opal! An extraordinary little piece of nature, beautifully framed in platinum and diamonds. At the centre of this gorgeous vintage ring sits a natural GIA Certified 1.05ct Boulder opal, alive with flashes of electric blue, vivid green and hints of warmer colour. There is something almost otherworldly about Boulder opals - the way their colours seem to emerge from deep within the stone, changing with every movement and every shift of light. No two are ever quite alike. Flanking the opal are two beautifully matched emerald cut diamonds, totalling 0.38ct. Their clean, architectural lines provide the most wonderful contrast to the opal's organic beauty, allowing its incredible colours to take centre stage. Crafted in solid platinum, the ring has some particularly lovely vintage details. The delicately engraved shoulders, fine openwork beneath the setting and beautifully balanced three-stone design give it that wonderful character we love to find in older jewellery. And while the opal is undoubtedly the star, there is something about the combination of those crisp white diamonds and the deep, shifting colours of the stone that makes the whole piece so captivating. A wonderfully individual alternative engagement ring, a special addition to a collection, or simply a beautiful old jewel to fall in love with. A little piece of nature's artistry, wrapped in the charm of vintage craftsmanship.
