Surprise your October birthday girl (or treat yourself) with this gorgeous Mid-Century floral ring!
This exquisite 14 karat solid yellow gold ring features a dramatic sculptural floral cluster design, prong-set with six oval cabochon natural Australian opals, each measuring approximately 5 millimeters long by 3 millimeters wide and weighing an estimated 0.17 carats, for a total opal weight of approximately 1.02 carats. The opals display the beautiful play-of-color that has made Australian opals prized for generations. Nestled among the opals are five round-cut natural diamonds (H–J color, SI1–SI2 clarity), each measuring approximately 2.15 millimeters in diameter and weighing an estimated 0.0344 carats, for a total diamond weight of approximately 0.172 carats. The combined estimated gemstone weight is approximately 1.192 carats.
The substantial openwork setting showcases an organic floral motif with contrasting oxidized recesses that give the ring exceptional depth and dimension, hallmarks of Mid-Century modern jewelry design. The ring measures approximately 19.19 millimeters (just over 3/4 inch) across the top and tapers to approximately 1.98 millimeters (just under 1/16 inch) wide at the back of the shank. It is a size 5 1/2 and can be resized by your local jeweler. The ring weighs 8.9 grams, is stamped 14K, and remains in good estate condition. Expected light surface scratches to the gold can be professionally polished if desired.
Opal is the traditional birthstone for October and has long been admired for its mesmerizing flashes of color. Every natural opal displays its own unique pattern of iridescence, making each ring truly one of a kind.
