Nickel opal ring, size K.

About this piece

A striking vintage ring centred on a luminous pale opal cabochon, set in a nickel band adorned with a twisted Celtic-inspired knot design on either side of the stone. The opal displays soft greens and blues across its milky surface, characteristic of fine quality play-of-colour. In UK size K, the ring sits comfortably on the middle or ring finger.

The nickel construction is typical of mid-20th-century jewellery manufacture, offering durability and a cool silver tone. The twisted metalwork flanking the stone shows characteristic wear consistent with regular wear over decades, with soft patina to the finish. The opal itself remains bright and unblemished. A classic piece that bridges folk and Art Nouveau sensibilities, this ring benefits from occasional gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth—avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged water exposure to protect the opal’s surface.
