Vintage 1970s Australia Opal 9ct Yellow Gold Floral Dress Ring

A charming vintage opal ring crafted in 9ct yellow gold and hallmarked to Birmingham with a date letter for 1971. The ring is centred with an oval cabochon Australia opal displaying a soft, ocean-like play of colour, with shifting greens and gentle blue-toned flashes that move across the surface as the light changes.

The opal is set within a decorative openwork surround, giving the ring a delicate floral character while allowing light to reach the stone. The slender gold shank keeps the overall look refined and elegant, typical of early 1970s design, and makes the ring comfortable for everyday wear.

A lovely example of a classic British vintage opal ring, ideal for those who appreciate understated colour, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
