Description
A striking 1960s opal solitaire ring, made in 9ct gold and hallmarked with the maker’s mark VJB.
While little is known about the maker, the craftsmanship suggests it was produced by a boutique jeweller rather than mass-manufactured - a considered piece made with care.
The opal itself is luminous and full of life, with subtle flashes of green, orange and violet that shift with the light.
Its generous size and softly domed cabochon cut give it presence, elevated by a sculptural four-claw setting that lets the light flood through.
The shoulders taper into a clean, minimal shank, allowing the stone to take centre stage - a hallmark of 1960s design, when bold simplicity and elegance were beginning to take hold.
Confident, clean-lined, and quietly expressive, this ring has all the hallmarks of mid-century modern style, and a timeless appeal that still holds today.
Ring size O
Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
