Meet Leilah,

A Vintage 1980s-Era Opal & Diamond Ring with Subtle Green & Blue Colors

Featuring the classic twisted bypass shank design popular in 1980s Modernist jewelry, this vintage 14k gold ring is set with a subtle green and blue-playing Australian semi-crystal opal.  In low-light environments, the opal is quiet; when viewed in bright light or sunlight, soft sprays of color gently roll beneath the oval-shaped opal's domed surface.  Three diamonds accent each side of the opal, six in total, weighing an estimated total of 0.18ct together.

Sourced from a Hamilton, Ohio-based estate jewelry dealer, the inside of the ring's shank is hallmarked "LAB 14KP".  "KP" denotes "karat plumb", terminology in United States jewelry manufacturing meaning that the ring is guaranteed to be at least 14k without tolerance.  Thorough testing concludes that the opal and diamonds are natural, suggesting "LAB" to be the hallmark stamp of the unknown manufacturer—a hallmark stamp that didn't carry the same connotation of lab-created gemstone origin as today.

  Default ring size 6.00 US.
