Vintage Natural Black Opal & Rose Gold Dress Ring | 5.46ct

Pre-Owned | Professionally Refurbished | Natural Australian Opal | Independently Valued

A remarkable piece of vintage-inspired elegance, this beautiful rose gold dress ring features an impressive 5.46ct natural semi-black opal, displaying a captivating spectrum of green, blue, violet and orange.

The oval cabochon opal exhibits a distinctive floral pattern with flashes of colour that shift and change with the light. Its dark grey base enhances the vibrancy of the natural play-of-colour, creating a gemstone full of depth and individual character.

The opal is secured within an ornate seventeen-claw coronet setting, supported by a scalloped gold plate beneath the stone. Elegant split shoulders flow into a delicate, slightly rounded rose gold band, giving the ring a refined and graceful appearance.

The setting combines 14ct light rose gold with a 9ct rose gold shank, reflecting the traditional craftsmanship of an earlier era.

Professionally polished and presented in good pre-owned condition, this distinctive ring offers the opportunity to own a beautiful natural gemstone in an enduring piece of fine jewellery.
