There is a quiet intimacy to a ring like this, a sense that it was made to be worn close, noticed only by those who look carefully. The opal sits low and luminous within its smooth gold setting, its surface alive with shifting greens, blues, and soft flashes of fire that appear and disappear as the hand moves. This is not an opal that shouts. It glows. The gypsy setting gives the ring a grounded, a talisman presence, as though it was meant to be worn every day, becoming part of its wearer’s life rather than an accessory.

Handcrafted in England and fully hallmarked for Birmingham in 1911, this ring is made in 18 karat gold and is set with a single round opal measuring approximately 6 × 6 × 2 mm. The ring bears the crown, “18,” Birmingham anchor, date letter “m” for 1911, and a partially legible maker’s mark reading “PBs.” It measures approximately 8.2 mm north to south, 11 mm across the face, and rises 4.4 mm off the finger. The ring weighs 3.47 grams and is a US size 4.5, making it a perfect pinky ring or a charming alternative on the hand.

There’s something deeply appealing about the simplicity of this piece, the way the gold curves protectively around the opal, letting the stone speak for itself. It feels personal, confident, and quietly luxurious, the sort of ring that becomes a signature over time. Worn alone or layered with others, it carries more than a century of history and still feels effortlessly modern. A small but powerful reminder that true elegance never needs embellishment.
