This dainty 10 karat light rose gold ring features a soft and subtle blue-green hued opal gemstone. It is hand cast with lovely simplicity, a darling piece from the 1900-1920’s Edwardian or early Art Deco period. Its elegant and beautiful face is set with a single, solid, opal cabochon. The colors move from a neon blue-green to a soft purple, with warm golden flashes atop a white base. This sweet gem is held in place by a uniquely set open claw mounting. The inside band has a maker's mark for Ripley Howland and acid tests as 10 karat gold. The opal is in good condition and shows no cracks or surface chips. This stone measures 6 mm by 8 mm and the rise off the finger measures 6.5 mm. The total weight of the ring is 1.8 grams. The base of the band measures 2.2 mm.
The ring size is just under a US size 5 3/4
