A spectacular antique Edwardian opal navette ring, made in Birmingham in 1914. The large natural opal weighs approx. 8 carats and exhibits bright blue, green and red embers that burn beneath the surface and intensify with the light.

Opal is the birthstone of October. Their magic has been revered throughout history, desired for their enchanting rainbow of colours that flow and dance across the surface of the stone, evoking the natural beauty of planet Earth or the Aurora Borealis. 

The opal cabochon is claw set in an 18ct gold navette gallery with split shoulders on either side and includes Birmingham hallmarks and the maker’s mark within the band. It’s a truly remarkable antique statement ring, boasting a spellbinding natural opal that is sure to dazzle and impress.
