The opals have gorgeous color play, with flashes of pinks, blues, greens, and purples. The diamonds are a combination of Old Mine and Old European Cuts, with beautiful sparkle that complements the color play of the opals. The prongs that hold the diamonds are platinum tipped to give the illusion the diamonds are being held seamlessly in place, while the prongs that hold the opals are gold to add a pop of color as they frame the opals. The ring has a Victorian-era profile with scrolling foliate and floral embellishments along the sides. The result is a lovely piece that feels delicate and feminine, with soft edges and colors that highlight the beauty of the stones.
