Edwardian Opal & Demantoid Garnet Halo Ring

If you were a trendsetter in 1915, you would have almost certainly worn a jewelry set with opal and demantoid garnets. The pairing of organic gemstones, such as opals and pearls, with lush green stones like demantoid and emerald was considered essential and highly fashionable. This is a truly stunning item, where the reds, oranges, and greens within the opal are brought out to maximum effect by the top-quality green garnets around it. The delicate claw setting holding the opal is adorable, as is the collet-style setting holding the demantoids. The attention to detail here is a hallmark of the top-quality craftsman who crafted this ring —a survivor of the Art Nouveau and Edwardian eras— and the perfect opal right-hand ring for someone seeking a top-quality antique opal piece.
