Vintage Gold-Tone Opal-Effect Cluster Ring

An oval cabochon with the soft, milky luminosity of opal sits at the center of a rhinestone halo, the whole cluster balanced on an open cathedral gallery. The design leans classic Victorian revival, evoking the sentimental cluster rings of an earlier century reinterpreted for everyday costume wear. Faceted round accents catch the light around the cabochon's quiet glow, a study in contrast between matte and sparkle.
