Vintage 9ct Rose Gold Opal And Sapphire Bridge Ring - Birmingham 1976
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
This exquisite vintage ring captures the timeless elegance of 1970s craftsmanship, blending rich history with enduring beauty.
Handcrafted in 9-carat rose gold and fully hallmarked for Birmingham, 1976, this piece is approaching its 50th anniversary, making it a true treasure for collectors and lovers of vintage jewellery alike.
At its heart lies a crystal Opal that shimmers with a captivating play of colour — flashes of greens and blues dance across its surface, evoking the ethereal glow of the Northern Lights. The central Opal is beautifully framed by pairs of round blue Sapphires of varied blue depths, set vertically to draw the eye and enhance the depth of colour.
On either side, two additional round crystal Opals complete the composition, giving the ring a balanced and harmonious design that glows with subtle sophistication.
The bridge-style setting allows the gemstones to sit gracefully across the finger, making it a comfortable and elegant choice for everyday wear or special occasions. Its refined silhouette means it pairs beautifully with other rings — whether worn alongside a wedding band, a diamond eternity ring, or as a standalone statement piece, it complements effortlessly.
With nearly half a century of history behind it, this ring is more than just jewellery — it’s a piece of wearable art, carrying the charm and romance of a bygone era. A perfect choice for those who appreciate vintage allure and the delicate interplay of Opal and Sapphire hues.
