Victorian Opal & Diamond Cluster Ring leather It looks suitably dramatic wornDATE: Victorian, c. 1870 A beautiful Opal and Diamond cluster ring. The diamond sits in the centre of a navy blue enamelled star and eight vibrant opals displaying an array of colour. The band is modelled in 18 carat yellow gold and displays English hallmarks for the year 1870. Opal has long been a symbol of hope, purity and truth. However, Nomadic Arab tribes believed the opal fell to Earth during thunderstorms and held lightning inside. STONES Opal
