18kw Opal & Diamond Ring

Unique rings for any occassion
Crafted in-house by our team of goldsmiths

Do you dream in Deco? We certainly did when we designed & fabricated this black opal & diamond ring. We took our cue from the thoughtful design of the Art Deco style when we combined mixed cuts of diamonds & a stunning 1.60ct black opal. Two large half carat diamonds vertically flank the opal to complement & protect the stone. This is the Art Deco ring we dream of, modernly fabricated to pass on to the next generation.

About

Contemporary Era

(1970 - Now)
Also referred to as the “More is More” Era. Very large-scale jewellery was starting to be produced as Pop Art and Bohemian fashions came into popularity.

Plastic became a new medium to fabricate jewellery. Other pieces were often made of other unconventional materials such as plastic or wood. Prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became the new style. Jewellery of this Era was considered “wearable art”.

As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant and large, such as oversized hoop earrings and necklaces which were worn by women in the office with their “power suits”. With women commonly in the workplace now, purchasing jewellery for oneself became increasingly common.

Costume jewellery truly began to take centre stage during the 80s. Neon plastic jewellery was not unusual to see on the younger members of this era- especially in a large statement earring. Another staple of the 80s was cross jewellery, necklaces being the favourite.

Contemporary jewellery is something that will always be in trend, because its something that is “made in current time”.

Opal - – Hydrated Amorphous form of Silica

There are two classes of opal: precious and common. Precious opal displays iridescence and a play of colour, whereas a common opal does not. The structure of precious opal causes it to diffract light, giving it that play of colour. Black opals are considered the rarest while the others are considered common. Opal is the official birthstone for October and ranges from a 5-6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is not recommended to wear opals daily or in water as they are made up of anywhere from 3% to 21% water content.
