This Victorian opal cluster ring began life as a stickpin, its flower-like head worn on a lapel or cravat in the late 19th century. At its center is a translucent round jelly opal of approximately 2.50 carats that holds drifting flashes of green, orange, and red play-of-color in a warm, glassy body. Because it was made as a stickpin, the opal sits in a closed-back setting, a period detail that has kept it protected for well over a century.

Ten old mine cut diamonds, approximately 1.70 carats total, form the halo. Each one is set in its own crisp claw prong, and small gold beads sit between the stones. The 18K gold head has a scalloped, petal-shaped gallery that is just as pretty from the side as from above.

To make the head wearable as a ring, we cast a new 14K yellow gold shank, molded from an original Art Deco engraved band. Its floral pattern adds a second layer of antique charm to this one-of-a-kind antique opal and diamond ring.

Virtual Try-on Info.

When visible, the Virtual Try-on button (located above the Add to Cart button) lets you see this piece at true size beside a US quarter, a ruler, or a credit card; on a model's hand, ear, wrist, or lapel; or on you, using just your phone or computer. No account or app is needed.

Every piece is measured and checked by a person before it gets the button, and the size shown is calculated from that measurement. On the model views, the hand wears a size 7 on the ring finger, the wrist is 6.5 inches around, and the ear is an average adult ear. On you, the scale comes from the ring size you enter or from a bank card in the photo.

Your photo is processed in your browser and is never uploaded to us. New pieces receive the button within a few days of being listed.

How to Wear with Care

Jewelry is meant to be worn, but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:

  • We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
  • You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
  • Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.

We do not sell what we cannot service. Should an issue arise, please get in touch. We offer an extensive range of repair services and are here to help!
