This beautiful Art Deco ring features an oval cabochon Ethiopian hydrophane opal displaying delicate flashes of green, yellow, orange, and pink against a soft, milky background. The opal is held in a distinctive prong setting surrounded by a finely textured white gold border, creating a lovely contrast between the gemstone's shifting colors and the intricate metalwork.
Crafted in 10K white gold, the ring features beautifully detailed openwork shoulders adorned with small floral motifs, scrolling accents, and delicate geometric elements. The decorative gallery allows light to enter from the sides, while the gently tapering shank gives the ring a graceful profile. The combination of floral detailing and structured metalwork reflects the decorative character of early 20th-century jewelry.
The ring measures approximately 14.07 × 12.20 mm across the face, offering a noticeable presence without overwhelming the finger.
Please Note: Ethiopian hydrophane opals are porous and can absorb moisture, which may temporarily alter their appearance. Avoid exposure to water, lotions, perfumes, and cleaning solutions. Do not immerse or use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
