An Antique, Five-Stone Opal Ring
Crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, this delicate Edwardian era ring is prong-set with five natural white crystal opal cabochons. The opals display a fine variety of color play ranging from red and blue to green and yellow; all of the stones are in excellent condition for the ring's age, with one end-stone appearing to be set by epoxy, rather than the prongs. Approximate default ring size 6.25 US.
