A beautiful vintage black opal statement ring featuring a stunning natural black opal with an exceptional play of colour. As the stone catches the light it reveals vivid flashes of blue, green, yellow, orange and vibrant red, creating a spectacular display that changes from every angle.
Whilst every effort has been made to photograph the opal accurately, its remarkable play of colour is even more impressive in person. The changing flashes of colour proved difficult to reproduce fully in photographs and are best appreciated when the ring is viewed in natural light.
This ring originally bears a 585 stamp together with the maker's mark, indicating it was manufactured to the 14ct gold standard. Prior to sale it was submitted to the Birmingham Assay Office for modern hallmarking. As the gold tested fractionally below the legal 14ct standard, it was hallmarked as 9ct gold, the next recognised gold standard below 14ct in the UK. Both the original 585 stamp and the later Birmingham hallmark are shown in the photographs.
