ABOUT THIS RING

Superbly hand-fabricated in silver over 18K rose gold around the turn-of-the-last-century (most likely of British origin), this fabulous halo ring features a modestly proportioned but remarkable gemstone. From the famed Lightening Ridge mines of Australia, this truly gemmy black opal exhibits an unparalleled play of colors (impossible to capture in still photos). Every imaginable hue (and then some!) combine to create a psychedelic, kaleidoscopic light show on your finger. A dozen glittering, bright old mine-cut diamonds total 1 carat. Currently ring size 6 1/2.

About Art Nouveau Jewelry

Looking to go organic? Bummed out (with good reason) by the Industrial Revolution, Art Nouveau makers embraced the natural world and a return to the hand-craftsmanship of an earlier time. Their overlap with both the Victorian and Edwardian eras resulted in a great deal of cross-pollination. Though relatively short in its purest form, Art Nouveau’s flowing lines continued to weave their way into fine jewelry.

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.
