Impeccably sourced, rare vintage jewelry
brutalist opal and diamond 18k gold ring
The Story
A Brutalist designed vintage ring from the mid 20th century. Made from heavily textured 18 karat yellow gold, it looks like a piece of architectural sculpture. Bezel set at front is a boulder opal with tons of play-of-color. Seen askew at top and bottom are three diamonds, each approximately 0.02 carats, prong set in platinum.
A unique ring, it's a super special find. The bright colors of the opal add an unexpected element against the textured gold. Fitting like a band, it sits close to the finger. It looks great on it's own or worn with other favorites.
