Opals are my favourite gemstone, so I’m delighted to offer an appealing and hard-to-find antique bracelet featuring them.

In the Edwardian period they were often combined with accent stones complementing their major hue. Here these are intense unheated rubies, as fiery reds and pinks predominate in the opals.

This was handcrafted in England using Australian matched oval opals and 15-carat yellow gold. The gemstones are set in fine bezels with delicate but well-defined millegrained edges.

A looped gold frame encloses each section, with simple oval links between. This construction means it won’t roll when worn.

The condition is excellent, with the crispness adding a subtly pleasing note.
