Antique Australian 9ct Yellow Gold Solid Boulder Opal Ring Circa 1930-40
Please note, boxes are for display only unless otherwise stated.
Discover the allure of the Australian outback with this stunning antique boulder Opal ring, crafted in or around the 1930-40s from 9 carat yellow gold.
This captivating piece features a natural solid boulder Opal, measuring approximately 15.1 mm x 9.5 mm x 5.3 mm and weighing around 4.3 carats.
The Opal dazzles with a mesmerising play of blues, greens, and hints of purple and yellow hues to a deep rich reddish background.
When viewed from a horizontal angle, we believe the Opal intriguingly resembles two iconic Australian animals—perhaps a wallaby, an emu, or even a lizard?—adding a touch of whimsy and wonder to its beauty!
Expertly multi-claw set and in excellent antique condition, this ring is not just a piece of jewellery; it's a conversation starter, a piece of art, and a slice of Australia’s natural splendor. Perfect for collectors and lovers of unique, meaningful jewellery, this ring is ready to be cherished for generations to come.
