Classic Princess Diana Style Opal & Diamond Halo Ring

Some jewelry designs enter the realm of classics, then there are others that become iconic. Halo designs with outside prongs on the diamonds give the ring a floral look, and have been popular since the 1850s, but they entered a rarified world when Princess Diana chose a Sapphire set the same way. This ring, circa 1980s, is of the same era, but set in yellow gold with an Opal center stone instead of Sapphire. The Opal is an Australian crystal Opal with a pleasant green floral pattern which is consistent across lighting conditions, with a large presence on the hand. The Diamonds are substantial and brilliant, the perfect foil to this Opal. Great to wear, and bargain priced for this design icon.
