Elspeth Ring
Elspeth Ring
A 5 opal stone early Edwardian (1901) ring. The opals are mounted high, almost like a crown that will bring a royal look to your ring stack. The base of the opal color is primarily white but has a flow and splash of pastel colors. When the lighting hits right, you can see a comet of royal purple – let me know if you ever see it! I find it so special. It once had a Chester hallmark for 1901 but sadly it got erased when I requested a resize.
