These opals - honestly - they are magical. Even as I sit on a very rainy overcast day writing this, these opals are fire-filled and glistening. Dancing in all colours from green, to blue to orange pink and purple, the display as they dance is utterly captivating. 

Set in a rose gold ring we love the colour combination of the opals in all their colours and the pink of that rose gold. The shield face is engraved with a cross and the milgrain setting of each opal is still fabulously clear. Further to this as two larger opal cabochons in the shoulders.

Condition - light wear - some marks and scratches on the inside of the band, a spot of yellow gold on the outside of the band (between fingers) 

Care - Opals are soft stones and need to be treated with care - they are not suggested as an everyday stone for all your tasks. As a general rule - jewellery should not be worn for strenuous tasks that may put pressure, chemicals and weight on them (think cleaning, gym, swimming/spa, carrying things). Jewellery should be inspected checked every six months by a jeweller to check for wear.

Please be aware that this item is pre-loved and therefore is NOT new. Please see the pictures and description to ensure you are happy with it before you buy.

Also note - none of the other items or props in the photo come with the item and all measurements are approximate.

FAQ

Sizing

What do we mean when we say a ring is "sizeable"? Well, most standard rings can be made bigger or smaller by up to three letter sizes. If we say the item is "moderately sizeable", this usually means about 1 size, and if we say it is "not sizeable" or that "sizing is not recommended" it will be due to the construction - it could be age related, pattern related, have enamel etc.

We can happily help with sizing of rings, so please do get it touch if we can give you a quote.

Current prices are: $40 for sizing down, $40 for rhodium plating (all white gold rings), and sizing up starts at $50 - and depends on the carat of gold, width of band and number of sizes. These are subject to change at any time and remain linked to the volatile changes in precious metals.

Time frames - sizing is usually complete within 3 weeks.
