Ever popular, this is an easy to wear Victorian natural opal belcher signet ring. Held in a 10 claw setting with an added grooved shoulder detail.
 
The oval shape opal has a lovely orange glow, as well as vivid blue and green flashes throughout. The substantial ring has minor evidence of a previous resize at the back of the shank. In good condition, the opal does have a little surface wear in keeping with its age.
