Antique victorian opal & amethyst celestial cluster ring, in 18 carat gold

A beautiful Victorian opal and amethyst celestial inspired cluster ring crafted in rich 18ct gold, dating to the late 19th century. 

The ring features six luminous cabochon opals surrounding a central round-cut amethyst in a closed back setting, accented by a further six vivid amethysts to the outer border.

The domed cluster face is finished with elegant scalloped edging and intricate openwork detailing beneath, allowing light to pass beautifully through the stones. The shoulders are particularly lovely, decorated with crisp engraved starburst-style detailing.

The opals display flashes of blue, green, lilac and fiery peach tones which contrast beautifully against the deep raspberry-purple amethysts and warm yellow gold setting.

Opals have long been associated with hope, creativity and emotional clarity, whilst amethysts symbolise calmness, protection and wisdom, making this a deeply romantic and meaningful Victorian piece.
