9Ct White Gold Opal & Sapphire Halo Ring

A cabochon opal glowing at the centre, ringed by a halo of deep-blue sapphires: this preloved 9ct white gold cluster has real presence, and the kind of soft-versus-crisp contrast that vintage cluster rings do so well. It has clearly been worn and admired before finding its way to us.

We are unashamed champions of 9ct gold, and white gold is no exception, warm-hearted, hard-wearing and far too often overlooked. Here the cool silvery tone throws the opal's play-of-colour and the sapphires' blue into lovely relief, with split shoulders that sweep up to the head for extra character from the side. The hallmarks, IW and CID sponsor's marks alongside 375, 9K and the Birmingham stamp, confirm genuine 9ct white gold assayed in England's jewellery quarter. It makes a distinctive alternative engagement or right-hand ring, and a treat for any October baby who loves opal with a bit of structure.
