Antique opal and diamond ring dating to the Edwardian period, circa 1905–1915. The ring centers an oval cabochon opal exhibiting a light, luminous color with bright iridescent play-of-color, predominantly in green and blue with subtle flashes that shift across the surface as the ring moves in light. The opal is framed by a halo of old cut diamonds set in platinum, a hallmark of early 20th-century jewelry when platinum replaced silver for diamond-topped settings due to its strength and ability to hold fine detail. The platinum halo is supported by an open, pierced gallery with delicate scrollwork, designed to elevate the opal and allow light to pass beneath. The ring is finished with a yellow gold shank and under-gallery, creating the classic platinum-over-gold construction typical of the period.
