Hardly any other gemstone is surrounded by as many myths and legends as the opal. Many cultures used it as a talisman to bring beauty, luck and success to its wearer; the Greeks even attributed the stone with the power of prophecy. So it is no wonder that we are still attracted to the ever-changing play of colors of these gemstones today. This yellow gold ring has an oval Australian full opal cut into a cabochon in its center. The gemstone shows an impressive play of colors on a white background with strong red, yellow and green tones that change with every movement of the finger, move through the stone and mix with each other. The high-carat gold setting holds the opal flat over the finger, making the ring comfortable to wear. The side view is particularly impressive: here, the ring band dissolves into an intricate pattern of plant shapes, with elegant curves cut out of the gold by hand. It is clear that the goldsmith was inspired by the modern forms of Art Nouveau and has created a wonderfully unique piece. The ring was created in the early years after 1900. It was hallmarked at a later date. We discovered it here in Berlin.
