Era of this opal and diamond ring

[Arym]

Does anyone know what era this opal and diamond ring is from?

To be it looks rather “Sputnik” so I’m guessing 1960s era. Larger cocktail style rings and opals were quite popular during the 1950s and 1960s.

I agree with Bron. It looks very similar to this ring, which is listed as '40s/'50s:

Nice thanks!

Kind of reminds me of these Claire Pettibone rings too.

Although the diamonds are bezel set if course

Bought it and love it!! It’s like a starburst halo cluster feel but very open and lacy. I love the open feel.

One more!

Actually I looked at the bottom diamond closely and not only is it crooked, it's missing the top of one of the four prongs!! I'm surprised it's even sitting there. I'm glad i noticed it and will get it repaired and straighten it too.

It's not crooked, it's just winking.

Good thing you caught that missing prong before you lost a diamond!

That is such a pretty ring @Arym! I’m glad you got it so we could see more pics (hint hint)

Wow what a great article! I should have checked it with the microscope thingy before buying it, now I know, somehow that diamond is hanging on for dear life with the 3 prongs
