FAQs

Halo cluster settings became prominent during the Georgian and Victorian eras, designed to maximise the light refraction and visual impact of central gemstones by surrounding them with smaller accent stones.

These pieces typically combine 375 standard 9-carat gold with natural cabochon-cut opals and supporting gemstones such as white sapphires, diamonds, or paste glass.

Authenticity is verified through professional metallurgical hallmarks, microscopic examination of claw settings, and observing the characteristic play-of-colour unique to genuine natural opals.

They serve as a refined statement piece that can elevate minimalist evening wear or add a touch of historic character to everyday tailoring.

Opals are relatively soft and porous stones that should never be cleaned using ultrasonic devices, harsh chemicals, or prolonged immersion in water; instead, wipe gently with a soft damp cloth.
