This Vintage Opal Ring is an eye catcher! One beautiful natural opal is showcased in a yellow gold setting with small gold ball accents. The opal is oval and measures approximately 8.5 x 12 mm. The stone has soft flashes of green, blue and pink under the light and the finish of the opal has softened with wear. The well made setting is unmarked and tests for 14k gold (not plated or filled). This ring could be worn as a birthstone ring for the month of October but it could also be a beautiful right hand ring even if October is not your birth month. This ring is in good vintage condition and is ready to be worn and enjoyed.
Opals have rich meaning in history. Opals have been said to foster love, passion, loyalty, faithfulness, emotional expressiveness, warmth and spontaneity. In Roman times opals were, after emeralds, the most valued gem. At the turn of the century, engagement rings often did not contain diamonds. In the Victorian Era it was believed that each stone had it's own mythical properties and symbolism. Opals were thought to symbolize hope and love.
