1970's South Australian Opal, Diamond & Sapphire Cluster Ring
A bold contemporary cluster ring of elaborate design, crafted in 18ct yellow gold with a raised triple split "V" shoulder and a three-dimensional, free-form top constructed in a curled wire cage style.
The centrepiece is a South Australian oval cabochon cut solid white opal, surrounded by white gold wire claw and bezel settings housing dark blue sapphires and round brilliant cut diamonds. The ring is unstamped, with no maker’s marks, and is of fancy cast manufacture with overseas origin. A striking statement piece, notable for its sculptural form and vibrant gemstone arrangement.
