If you like opals that show all the colours of the rainbow – including plenty of red – then this pretty ring from about 1900 should appeal to you.

As play of colour in a moving opal is one of its most important qualities we urge you to view the two videos to appreciate it.

The opals are very deep and the diamonds are lower than the three main stones, so a phone camera can’t cope with the different levels of focus needed, unlike the human eye. This means you have to see this ring in real life to experience its true magic.

Four good old mine cut diamonds, placed on either side of the central stone, add a contrasting clear sparkle to the colourful main stones.

While the setting is handcrafted in 18-carat yellow gold in a popular English style, the opals are unmistakably Australian, with their range and intensity of colour.
