This Victorian cocktail ring started life as a brooch before being converted into a wearable statement piece. A .40 carat old mine cut diamond sits at the center, reflecting a warm near-colorless hue with the characteristic chunky facets and high crown of its antique cut. The I color grade means the diamond shows a barely noticeable warmth that complements the yellow gold beautifully.

Three distinct halos surround the center stone. An inner ring of seed pearls circles the diamond, followed by a middle halo of ten opals totaling .40 carats that add flashes of color. An outer ring of pearls completes the ornate design. The 14 karat yellow gold setting holds everything securely in place, creating substantial presence on the finger.
