Description

Dimension of ring face: 16 x 14 mm
Dimension of opal: 11.5 x 10 x 5 mm (approx. 3 carats)

Condition: excellent antique condition. Under 60x magnification, I can see some very minor surface wear to the edges of the opal (not visible with the naked eye). The gold has some expected age-related surface wear. The ring has been resized sometime in the past, as the back of the shank shows a very faint joint line.
