This beautiful little antique Victorian solid 18k yellow gold ring is perfect for comfortable every day wear, the ring has a classic gold band with side-split shoulders supporting a fabulous bezel-set round natural opal cabochon which is like a glowing moon on the finger, the moonlight white flashes glorious emerald greens with overtures of purples and crimsons depending on how the light hits it, the opal is set solitaire style within a closed yellow gold gallery-a super pretty glowing moon on your finger! The ring is marked '18CT' inside the band along with other blurred marks. The ring tests for 18k gold.
The ring sits about half way between a 5 3/4 and a 6.
The opal measures about 5.5mm across. The ring rises approximately 6mm above the finger and weighs approximately 2.5 grams.
The ring is in very good condition with general wear. The opal has a few scratches but looks lovely, the band and shoulders are in excellent condition.

TERMS OF SALE & RETURNS
We make great efforts to honestly and accurately describe each item we list. We back this up with many photographs, all with a close-up zoom option for detailed inspection. Due to the majority of our items being antique/vintage and often unique it can be difficult to determine age and as such all our items are sold 'as is'. However, if we are not certain about the age of an item we will either not mention an age or say the item is being sold as a later or modern piece and then leave it up to more experienced buyers to determine the exact age. Items are not returnable if it was not of the age/value you were hoping it to be with no exceptions. If we place a date on an item we guarantee it to be of that period or earlier. If you require further pictures or more information about an item, please let us know prior to bidding or purchase. Items cannot be returned for any condition issues either shown in the pictures or mentioned in the listing. As many items we sell are one hundred years or older we will not accept returns for wear consistent with the item's age. Any item mentioned as sold 'as is' in the listing will not be eligible for any form of return or refund. If it is determined an item is eligible for a return, the item must be shipped back within 48 hours, insured and tracked. A restocking fee may apply. We are very easy to work with and welcome any and many questions during our listings, so please let us know if you have one! Thanks again for looking!
