About the Item

A stunning, fine and impressive antique 2.30ct black opal and 18k yellow gold cameo ring; part of our diverse antique opal jewelry and estate jewelry collections. This stunning, fine and impressive antique opal ring has been crafted in 18k yellow gold. The rectangular setting is ornamented with a hand carved 2.30ct black opal cameo*, depicting a profile of a man in armour, bearing resemblance to centurions or the mythological hero Archilles. The cameo is held within a plain rounded collet setting. The trifurcating ring shoulders integrate with the main setting and blend seamlessly with the plain ring shank. This cameo ring has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18k gold. This impressive ring is supplied with an IDGL gemstone grading report card. A rare black opal cameo ring in yellow gold is an evocative gift for connoisseurs of antique jewelry, equally suited to birthdays, anniversaries or as a personal heirloom of lasting significance. * Attributed to Wilhelm Schmidt of Idar-Oberstein, this opal exemplifies the master carver's pioneering technique of using the stone's natural matrix as a contrasting ground — a method that heightens the gem's iridescence. Trained in Paris and later based in London's Hatton Garden, Schmidt's work is celebrated for elevating opal carving to an art form of sculptural subtlety. Despite his profound influence on gem carving, Schmidt rarely signed his works, lending pieces like this a quiet, almost secretive distinction. Images do not always reflect the true color and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual color and showcases each stone. Condition This impressive ring is exceptional quality, set with a stunning hand carved black opal cameo displaying a scintillating play of color. The black opal ring is an exceptional gauge of gold and is in exceptional condition. Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this stunning Victorian opal ring.
