Victorian Opal and Diamond Scroll Half Hoop Ring
The Story Oh, how we love this Victorian (1837-1901) three stone opal cabochon ring! Queen Victoria's love of opals and their increased accessibility thanks to mining advancements meant that this stone became a favorite for the trend-loving Victorian middle class. Thank goodness the popularity of opal allowed this ring to come to be! The opals have a bewitching pinfire color pattern, set off beautifully by the glinty Old Mine Diamond accents. From the top down view, the ring gives the look of a gypsy setting, while the slightest movement shows that the stones are elevated by delicate open prongs and scrollwork, making this ring supremely stackable.
