Antique 0.85ct Opal and 1.68ct Diamond, 18ct Yellow Gold Trilogy Ring Circa 1890

19th century
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique 0.85 carat opal and 1.68 carat diamond, 18 carat yellow gold trilogy ring; part of our diverse antique opal engagement rings collection.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian ring has been crafted in 18ct yellow gold.

The scrolling setting displays a central claw set 0.85ct cabochon cut opal.

The opal is flanked with a 0.83ct and 0.81ct Old European cut diamonds, each claw set in a horizontal trilogy design.

The main setting is further embellished with six pavé set Old European cut diamonds, set in sequence with the main gemstones.

The elevated, scroll decorated ring shoulders integrate with the claw settings and blend seamlessly with the plain 18ct yellow gold ring shank.

This antique opal ring has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 carat gold.

This impressive opal and diamond ring is supplied with two IDGL diamond grading report certificates for the feature stones, in addition to an IDGL diamond grading report card for the supporting stones.

Such antique trilogy rings set with large feature very high colour graded diamonds are rare to the market and becoming increasingly difficult to locate.

This opal trilogy ring, embellished with diamonds in yellow gold, is a meaningful present for birthdays, anniversaries, or romantic milestones. It embodies the past, present, and future, rendering it a splendid selection for an alternative engagement ring.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This antique trilogy ring is excellent quality, set with a stunning opal displaying a scintillating play of colour and presence.

The very high colour and clarity graded feature diamonds display a fine white colour, brilliance and presence; there is a minor loss to the girdle of one diamond.

The gemstone ring is an excellent gauge of gold and is in excellent condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this impressive opal trilogy ring in yellow gold.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Victorian trilogy ring features three central gemstones set in a row, traditionally symbolising the past, present, and future of a relationship. Popularised during the late nineteenth century, these pieces often incorporate precious gemstones such as opals and diamonds set in yellow gold.

Late Victorian trilogy rings were predominantly crafted from 18ct yellow gold, chosen for its durability and rich tone. They frequently feature precious cabochon opals and hand-cut diamonds held securely in claw or gallery settings with decorative carved shoulders.

Authentic Victorian rings typically display hand-cut diamonds, such as old mine or old European cuts, paired with natural cabochon opals showing iridescent colour play. They often feature carved or scrollwork galleries and British hallmarks or makers marks inside the band.

An antique opal ring serves as a distinct statement piece that complements contemporary attire and modern tailoring. It can be worn individually on the right hand as a focal point or paired alongside slim, understated gold bands.

Opals are delicate gemstones sensitive to extreme temperatures, moisture loss, and chemicals, so they should be wiped gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and submersion in water, storing the ring in a padded jewellery box when not in use.
