Set against a dramatic field of polished black onyx, a small opal brings an unexpected flash of color to this vintage 10K gold ring. The oval opal measures approximately 0.13 carat and displays delicate play-of-color that shifts as the ring moves in the light.
The elongated black onyx measures approximately 15.25 × 7.35 mm and creates a striking backdrop for the opal. Rather than surrounding the onyx with a simple frame, the setting is finished with an openwork scalloped border in yellow gold. The tiny loops and beaded details give the ring an almost lace-like quality around its otherwise bold black center.
The contrast is what makes this piece particularly interesting: luminous opal against glossy black onyx, surrounded by warm yellow gold. Its elongated 19.45 mm face gives the ring wonderful presence on the hand without requiring a large or heavy setting.
The ring is crafted in 10K yellow gold and weighs 2.48 grams. It dates to the mid-20th century and remains in excellent vintage condition with age-appropriate wear.
