A beautiful late Victorian to Edwardian navette (marquise-shaped) ring crafted in solid 18ct gold, centred with a fiery natural oval opal measuring approximately 8mm × 6mm. The opal displays vivid flashes of green and blue and is framed by a sparkling surround of old-cut diamonds, with further diamonds set into the shoulders, giving the ring excellent presence and strong period character. The elongated navette form is a classic design from around the turn of the century, flattering on the hand and highly wearable, while the combination of opal and old-cut diamonds gives the ring timeless appeal. Elegant, well balanced, and refined, this is a striking example of late 19th to early 20th century jewellery.
