9Ct Gold Pale Opal Trilogy Ring

Three little opals, three little pools of shifting colour: this preloved 9ct gold trilogy has the kind of soft, old-fashioned romance that never really dates. A trilogy is traditionally said to mark the past, present and future, and this one has clearly lived a good stretch of all three before reaching us.

We will happily fly the flag for 9ct gold: warm in tone, properly hard-wearing and unfairly overlooked, it is the ideal companion for gentler stones like opal. Here an oval cabochon centre is flanked by two round opals, all claw-set on a slim band with tapered shoulders so the light can play across them. The REM 375 Birmingham hallmark tells us it is genuine 9ct gold, assayed in England's jewellery quarter. It makes a lovely opal promise or October birthstone ring, and sits low and comfortable enough for every day.

Questions & answers

Is this a genuine preloved piece?
Yes, it is one of a kind, authenticated and professionally restored in our Birmingham workshop.

What condition is it in?
Good preloved condition, professionally restored and lightly polished to keep the character of the gold. Opal is a softer stone, so we would avoid knocks and ultrasonic cleaning.

What do the hallmarks tell us?
The "375" confirms 9ct gold, the Birmingham mark shows it was assayed in the city's assay office, and "REM" is the sponsor's mark.
