Meet Melinda,

A 1960s-Era Solitaire Australian Opal Ring with Textured White Gold Shoulders

Quiet indoors and lively in sunlight, this natural Australian opal solitaire ring lights up with gentle pinkish red flames across the oval-shaped stone's domed surface; when viewed closely in the light, orange overtones combine with complementing undertones of subtle blue, green, and purple.

Sourced from a vintage jewelry boutique located in Orlando, Florida, the 14k white gold ring is estimated to have been manufactured around the 1950s or 1960s.  Its unique prong-set design showcases hand-textured white gold shoulders on each side of the opal.

Since entering OpalPop's collection, the ring has been professionally cleaned, polished, and checked; light remnants of deeper wear can be seen along the side of the ring's shank, their appearance minimized by the refurbishment process.

Approximate default ring size: 5.50 US.
