elegance of its period and the unmistakable precision of Japanese platinum work.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe opal measures approximately 20.83mm by 8.22mm—just over four-fifths of an inch long—with a translucent N7 body tone that allows its color to appear suspended within and across the stone.  Green dominates its play-of-color, shifting across a remarkably broad spectrum from yellow-green and subtle flashes of warm orange to cooler blue-green and blue.  Its color is distinctly directional, rewarding movement rather than revealing itself all at once.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnlike many directional opals, however, Jennifer remains lively in softer indoor light, particularly when worn against the finger, which provides a darker backdrop for the transparent stone.  In favorable sunlight—especially with the light approaching from over the wearer’s shoulder—the opal can become dramatically brighter, producing the saturated green display that earns its B4 brightness rating.  The stone is Australian in origin and is attributed, though not documented, to Lightning Ridge.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwelve natural round brilliant-cut diamonds frame the opal, six to either side, with a combined weight of approximately 0.29 carat and an average clarity of VS1.  Rather than overwhelming the center stone, they form a crisp, luminous border that emphasizes its unusually slender proportions.  Beneath them, the elevated .900 platinum gallery opens into geometric supports and finely curled filigree, giving the ring an elegance that becomes even more apparent from the side.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInside the shank, the original Pm900, 4.78, and 0.29 stamps remain visible.  The ring has

in Japan during the later Shōwa era, c.1970s–1980s, Princess Tsume is a grand platinum cocktail ring built around a substantial 6.44-carat Australian opal.  Sourced through one of OpalPop's established Tokyo estate luxury-goods contacts, the ring reflects a distinctive period in Japanese fine jewelry—one in which the angular influence of Art Deco met the increasingly ambitious platinum workmanship of postwar Japan.  Beneath the stone, sharp architectural lines soften into hand-curled openwork filigree, creating a setting that is almost as compelling from the side as it is from above.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe opal itself is unapologetically large.  Measuring approximately 22.29mm by 12.25mm—just under an inch long and nearly half an inch wide—its elongated oval silhouette dominates the finger without losing its elegance.  The natural Australian light opal has an N8 body tone and displays full-spectrum play-of-color, with orange and green most prominent alongside complementing flashes of yellow, blue, violet, and red.  Across its broad surface, different areas reveal broad flash, smaller flashes, and narrow bars of electric color, giving the stone a varied appearance as it moves.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is not an opal that shouts in every environment.  Indoors and in softer light, its color can appear quiet and pastel; under stronger light, and especially in sunlight, the stone becomes considerably more animated.  That changeability is part of its character.  Rather than remaining visually constant, it rewards movement and changing light with new areas of color across its unusually expansive face.  The opal is Australian in origin and is attributed, though not documented, to the Coober Pedy mining region.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTen natural round brilliant-cut diamonds—five along each side—frame the opal in two narrow rows, totaling approximately 0.22 carat.  They add brightness without competing with the center stone, while the substantial .900 platinum setting and intricate gallery give the ring the unmistakable presence of vintage Japanese luxury jewelry.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrincess Tsume is for someone drawn to jewelry with scale, history, and unmistakable presence.  Its almost one-inch opal makes a dramatic statement, while its Shōwa-era Japanese setting gives it a history that newly made jewelry simply cannot reproduce.  For those seeking an unconventional opal engagement ring, its substantial proportions, platinum construction, and cultural history make it an especially distinctive choice.  Because of the opal’s relatively thin profile, exposed prong setting, and the ring’s high-profile construction, we recommend thoughtful wear and consider Princess Tsume best suited to special occasions rather than continuous everyday use.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate default ring size 5.75

 Its scale is immediately noticeable, but the setting is what gives the piece its authority: more than ten grams of solid .900 platinum rise into a high, intricately worked gallery, with scrolling filigree flowing outward into diamond-set shoulders.  The construction feels substantial and deliberate without losing the elegance expected of vintage Japanese fine

 Green dominates its play-of-color, accompanied by blue-green, teal, blue, and smaller flashes of yellow that can warm toward orange in stronger light.  Its pattern is distinctly directional.  Broad areas of color can become intensely saturated at favorable angles, while other portions of the stone return to quieter transparent crystal as the ring moves.  That contrast gives the opal a changing appearance rather than a uniformly bright face.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTen natural round brilliant-cut diamonds frame the opal, five to either side, with a combined weight of approximately 0.22 carat and an average clarity of VS2.  Their arrangement is integrated into the architecture of the setting rather than simply

confident platinum workmanship associated with late-Shōwa Japanese jewelry.  The ring has been professionally refurbished by our Anaheim, California jewelry partner, including cleaning, light platinum

favorable light.  In softer conditions, the palette becomes warmer, with red and orange remaining strongest while subtle violet can replace much of the blue.  The opal is Australian in origin and is

vintage Japanese platinum engagement ring centered by a substantial 4.83-carat Australian light opal whose scale is immediately impressive, yet whose overall character remains soft and romantic.  Measuring approximately 14.55 × 11.86mm, or about 0.6 × 0.5 inch, the oval opal covers a broad portion of the finger while its pale N8 body tone keeps the effect luminous rather than overpowering.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe opal’s play-of-color is subtle but unusually complex.  Its surface is naturally divided along a loose diagonal, with one side tending toward green and the other toward soft orange that can shift into pinkish red in brighter light.  Pearlescent blue appears throughout, while flashes of purer orange sometimes emerge within the greener areas.  The result is less a single dominant color than a gentle interaction between pastel green, pink-orange, and blue across the stone’s semi-crystal body.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJasmine is generally quieter indoors and in lower light, becoming most animated in sunlight and brighter environments.  Its generous depth is part of the effect: color continues down and around the high sidewalls of the cabochon rather than remaining confined to the face, giving the stone a stronger sense of dimension when viewed from an angle.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe platinum setting mirrors that softness.  Split shoulders rise toward four small round diamonds while openwork filigree curls through the gallery beneath the opal.  From the side, the design loosely forms heart-like shapes within the filigree, while the angular shoulders retain the Art Deco-influenced geometry often seen in Japanese jewelry of the late Shōwa era.  From above, however, the overall silhouette remains rounded and gentle rather than architectural.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCrafted in solid Pt900 platinum, Jasmine weighs approximately 6.84 grams and is hallmarked “Pt900,” “4.83,” and “D005,” recording the platinum purity, opal weight, and total diamond weight.  The ring was sourced through one of OpalPop’s established Tokyo estate-jewelry sources and dates approximately to the 1980s.  It arrived in strong condition and was subsequently cleaned, polished, and checked for stone security by our Anaheim jeweler.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor someone searching for a large opal engagement ring that feels special without feeling overly formal or conventional, Jasmine offers an unusual balance: nearly 15mm of Australian opal, soft pastel color, vintage Japanese platinum workmanship, and romantic open filigree in a ring that remains delicate despite its scale.  Because the opal is held relatively high in an open four-prong setting, Jasmine is best suited to mindful, occasional wear; we recommend removing it for exercise, housework, gardening, lifting, or other activities where the stone could be struck.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate default
