My grandmother''s opal ring

[risingsun]

I don't know much about it. It is surrounded by diamonds and enamel work has been done around the diamonds and on the shank, shown in the second pic. Enjoy! Oops! It didn't attach...

Side view...sorry it's so blurry...It is very difficult to get pics of opals!!

Wow! That is quite a ring! Looks like it would be fun to wear with a funky top/jeans and high heels. What fun!

That''s just yummy!

Thanks for the lovely comments! It''s such a big ring, that I feel it''s a bit much to wear much of the time. I guess it''s more of a dinner/cocktail ring

It may well have been in the 1970s. My grandfather picked it out and I never knew the history of the ring.

OH wow, that setting sure is a stunner! What a great estate piece.

Beautiful opal!!!!

I appreciate all your kind words...so would my grandmother. This ring was passed down from my grandmother to my mother and then down to me. They would both have enjoyed reading the responses on this thread.

The opal is stunning and the setting is beautiful and so unusual.

I was finally able to get a clear side view of the ring...Thank you all for your kind comments
