Decorative Chased Shank Victorian Opal Ring

The Story It's hard to know who is the star of the show in this Victorian (circa 1880) opal ring - the band or the stone! Crafted from 10 karat yellow gold, the band features an intricate chased metal design with a decorative pattern raised above a finely textured background. A lovely patina enhances the pattern, as it travels along the band to support the central opal. At .43 inches long, the opal provides lovely, but not overpowering, finger coverage. This opal has particularly captivating play-of-color! Perhaps, in a play on the theme, the Victorian jewelry selected an opal in which flashes of greens and reds seem to chase each other across the stone.  The Details 10 karat yellow gold Opal 1.64 grams 0.43 inches length x 0.33 inches width of opal setting on top of the finger3.83mm width of shank Ring size 5.75 , complimentary ring resize available upon request.
