The Sustainable Choice

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.

This Victorian solitaire ring dates from 1870 and is made from 18ct yellow gold. The central stone is an oval cabochon opal held securely within a traditional multi-claw setting, showing flashes of green, blue, and other light plays across its white surface. The slender gold band includes tapered shoulders leading directly up to the stone mount, carrying hallmarks indicating the 18ct gold standard. Measuring 1 cm high, 0.8 cm wide, and 2.1 cm deep, the ring is sized at UK K 1/2 and weighs 2.3 grams. Items of this type suit everyday wear as a dress ring on the hand, functioning well for daily personal ornamentation or evening occasions while pairing easily with other antique gold jewellery.

FAQs

Victorian opal solitaire rings typically feature a single focal opal set in yellow gold, held by claw settings designed to highlight the natural optical phenomena of the gemstone.

These pieces were crafted using 18ct or 15ct yellow gold combined with solid natural opals, secured by hand-cast metal claws.

Authentic Victorian examples often exhibit British hallmark stamps detailing gold purity alongside hand-finished claw mounts and natural opals with distinct play-of-colour.

Victorian solitaire rings can be worn individually as focus pieces or stacked alongside slim contemporary gold bands for a layered aesthetic.

Opals require protection from extreme heat and dryness. Clean gently using a soft, damp cloth without harsh chemical solvents or ultrasonic devices.
