The opal's play of color is characterized by broad, puzzle-like patterns, predominantly displaying vivid red and yellow flashes while greens and blues subtly emerge from the background. The enchantment is further enhanced by the surrounding diamonds, set in a pattern that accentuates the opal's radiance. The ring is in good condition, with the opal exhibiting a very slightly yellowish body color. This color is consistent with the natural aging process of opals, which are known to absorb foreign substances/liquids over time, no crazing (dehydration) can be observed. Essentially undamaged with the exception of mild contacting from wear to the overall ring shank. Heritage Auctions strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
