ABOUT THIS RING

Who needs a snow globe when you can have one of these? Yes, the snow in those whimsical domes of glass swirls around for a bit, but, alas, it settles to the bottom. Not so with this utterly enthralling 8.03 carat high-dome cabochon opal of Ethiopian* origin. The flecks of riotous color create a harlequin pattern of electric blue, green, orange, yellow, and red that pierce its translucent white body that isn't settling anywhere. The glorious gem is encircled by a halo of glittering round brilliant-cut diamonds held by striking reed-like prongs, all crowning a substantial bright platinum shank. No shaking necessary. Total diamond weight, 1.02 carats. Currently ring size 5 3/4. *Not that you would ever think of doing so, but here is a word of caution; Ethiopian opals should not be submerged in water for extended periods as it causes their colors to disappear. Though the color will return, it's best to avoid this.

About Estate Jewelry

Though it calls to mind grand manor houses in the English countryside, “estate” is just a fancy way of describing any piece of jewelry with a previous owner. That’s pretty much everything in our collection. We tend to use “estate” to refer to pieces in our collection with a more modern or contemporary design, or vintage-inspired designs. These perennial gems are selected in harmony with our original antique and vintage pieces…they’re just a little bit younger!

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
