#959 9k Opal & Diamond Ring - US 6.5

We discovered this ring at an auction. Therefore, we don't know exactly where this ring comes from – but we love to imagine its story: 

A young woman in London or Manchester in the late 70s, who wanted her first proper gold ring as a statement – opal instead of diamond, wide instead of delicate. Perhaps a gift for her 21st birthday or her first permanent job. Opal was considered the stone of the independent at that time.
