There’s a magical quality to this Victorian ring, a harmony of fire and light captured in an unusual pairing of opals and rubies. The opals shimmer with ethereal flashes of color, as if holding tiny rainbows within their depths, while the vibrant pink rubies bring a lively brilliance that perfectly complements the opals’ softer glow. Together, these stones create a ring that feels as enchanting as it is unique.

Measuring 5.9 mm north to south, 19 mm across, and sitting 3 mm off the finger, the band gracefully narrows to 1.7 mm at the back. Made of 15k gold and weighing a delicate 1.47 grams, this size 8 ring exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the Victorian era. A rare combination of gemstones and artistry, this ring invites its wearer to revel in its timeless beauty, a piece destined to be treasured for generations to come.
