Antique Solitaire 9k Gold Opal Ring

A beautifully preserved 9ct gold opal ring from the late 1800s, inscribed “June 97” inside the band — a sweet personal memento from over a century ago. The slim band and luminous opal give this piece a soft, romantic profile. Lovely worn alone or paired with other antique bands.

Care Instructions

Opals are delicate, hydrated gemstones. To ensure longevity:

• Remove before washing hands, exercising, bathing, or sleeping.

• Clean with a soft cloth only; do not use ultrasonic or chemical cleaners.

• Store in a padded box or soft pouch to avoid abrasion.
