18K White Gold Double Opal Filigree Ring # 11-304

This beautiful 18k white gold, opal ring is set in a fine filigree style. A beautiful white gold design holds two stunning opals – each is rectangular in shape and, typical of opals, catches and reflects light rays as the lucky lady moves her hand. Designed and produced in the 1930’s, it’s a handsome addition to anyone’s collection.

The 1920’s and 30’s ushered in the Art Deco period where popular motifs made use of geometric and abstract designs and a dramatic interplay of shimmery colors.

Filigree looks lacy and delicate but the pieces were die-struck with such force that it caused the metal to become denser and stronger.

The iridescent glow of the opal changes as it is exposed to different light and is a sign that the stone is precious. Opals were a favorite of Queen Victoria; she gave them as gifts and wore them herself. The ancient belief that opals were unlucky was transformed and they are now believed to bring good fortune. Opal is the birthstone for October and symbolizes hope.
