Opal Engagement Rings

Few gemstones evoke vintage character as much as the timeless opal with its multi- colored shimmer and rich, polished luster. Prized by European royalty for decades, the gem is exquisite in a variety of antique designs from vintage wedding rings and vintage engagement rings to statement pieces, three stone rings, and even solitaires. Victorian rings, in particular, favor opals, and are often set with accent diamonds or other gems to add sparkle that emphasizes the opal’s pearlescent qualities. Typically polished as a round cabochon, opals can also be shaped as ovals, hearts, and even a marquise or navette cut.
