9Ct Gold Emerald And Opal Cluster Ring

Some rings simply glow with colour, and this emerald-and-opal cluster from 1978 is exactly that sort of piece. It has the soft, romantic character that only a preloved ring can carry — worn, loved and ready for its next chapter on your hand.

It is crafted in 9ct gold, a metal we happily defend: hard-wearing, warm in tone and wonderful value, it is far too often overlooked. The flower-like cluster head brings together green emeralds and milky opals, claw-set into a defined, raised crown that catches every play of light, all rising from a smooth, polished band. The mix of cool emerald green and the opals' shifting glow suits both neutral and colourful wardrobes, making it a lovely vintage-inspired engagement or right-hand ring. As May's birthstone, the emerald also makes this a thoughtful gift for a spring birthday.
