Antique 18k Gold Five Opal Ring, Chester, 1900

There is something undeniably magical about opals—the way they catch the light, revealing hidden colors with every movement. This antique five-stone ring glows with an ethereal fire. The opals shimmer like captured moonlight, flickering with flashes of green, blue, and gold, their beauty ever-changing, like a secret meant only for the wearer. Set in warm gold, the stones rest in an elegant carved gallery, their presence both delicate and mesmerizing, a whisper of the Edwardian era’s refined grace.

Handcrafted in Chester in the year 1900, this ring has five luminous opals with a combined carat weight of approximately 0.73, their oval forms beautifully nestled within the carefully sculpted setting. The ring measures 7.5 mm north to south, 20 mm across, and 3.5 mm in depth, with a sturdy band measuring 2.7 mm in width. This exquisite ring is made of rich 18-karat gold, fully hallmarked with the crown, ‘18’, City Arms, and the date letter ‘R’. Weighing 5.47 grams, this piece is a testament to fine English craftsmanship, though the maker’s mark has softened with time.

A ring like this is more than jewelry—it’s a piece of history, a token of sentiment, a treasure that has endured for over a century. Now, it waits for its next chapter, to be worn, cherished, and admired once more.
