Description: Sale! This stunning antique ring features a fiery, ethereal Welo opal cabochon as its centerpiece. The large Ethiopian Opal weighing 4.37ct. is prong set in a delicate 14k white gold pierced mounting in the Art Deco/Edwardian style, the larger proportions of which bring it closer to the later retro period. This one-of-a-kind ring has an accompanying written appraisal conducted by an independent GIA certified gemologist (a value of $60) which will be included gratis with your purchase, for insurance purposes. The appraisal outlines details about the composition of the ring as well as it's retail value of $3885 USD. This was done when the gold market was much lower, therefore the current value is higher than stated. Please zoom in to appraisal image to see further details. The shank is stamped 14k and signed with the maker's mark: LAF which was the mark for La France jewelry company. This beautiful ring is rhodium plated (which gives gold and silver the more shiny polished finish instead of the matte). The Opal displays some vibrant fire, with flashes of red to green and orange to yellows. A wonderful gift for a loved one or yourself, whether worn as a fabulous cocktail ring or an alternative engagement ring. Perfect gift for an October baby too as opal is the birthstone of the month of October. The ring is currently US finger size 8 but can be resized. The shank is quite slim and we suspect it may have been sized up in the past.
