Antique Engagement Rings

Australian Opal Direct

 For many couples these days, the old-fashioned opal bracelet is the best choice. Not only are they less expensive, but they are also often better equipped and more likely to be inherited for future generations. Ancient wedding rings are "fragrant" and "a sense of isolation"

.



Opal earrings are a ring over 50 years old. Sometimes the word antique is used interchangeably with vintage so it is often the case that one person talks about an old engagement ring and another about an old engagement ring may actually be talking about the same thing.


There are different styles of rings including ancient ones based on different times or seasons. The Victorian Antique engagement ring from 1835-1900 is an engagement ring in yellow or red gold. It prides itself on its simplicity and beauty in designs but also tends to be more sophisticated than most modern bracelets. Tiffany's six-prong diamond ring is for this season. Following this period is the period of the old Edwardian ring that took place from 1900-1920. This is the time when Platinum became the mainstay of wedding rings instead of the bright yellow or gold rose of the Victorian era. Sapphires are very popular this season. From 1920-1930, Art Deco engagement rings became an international song. In this era the engagement rings have a formal, geometric look. Art Deco opal rings are currently the most sought after wedding rings for newlyweds.


When buying an old engagement ring, one should keep in mind to be aware of soft stones such as Opal, Emerald, and Pearl as the main gemstone or accent, as they break easily and may contain internal damage if not properly inspected. In addition, one should consider the art of the ring when buying it. If you are on a tight budget but are considering a better and bigger diamond, it is wise to consider buying an opal necklace from about 1930-1940. The diamonds in these rings create the illusion of large size with their detailed engraving settings.

Boulder Opal A Great Choice for Pendant Jewelry

Australian Opal Direct
 Boulder opal is a great alternative to the other two main types of opal: Black opal and White opal earrings . Boulder opal is mostly sold in opal shops as a free form piece of gemstone. That means that the stone has its own individual shape rather than an oval or a circle or a pear shape which black and white opals are normally cut into. A free form shape will not look like any shape that you recognize but will still be pleasing. Another major difference is that boulder opal will often not be smooth and domed on the top. We call this a cabochon from an old French word which translates to the English word hat. We cut most opals into cabochons because it enhances their color characteristics by allowing the light to enter and exit the stone for maximum effect. Boulder opal will mostly have an undulating surface of the opal material sitting on a bed or dark brown ironstone. This means that the stone will need to have a jeweler make a special setting for the stone because ready made se...
