About the Item

An exquisite Mid-Century Italian cocktail ring, crafted in 14 karat yellow gold and showcasing a luminous natural Australian opal weighing approximately 6.5 carats. The opal displays a dreamy, watercolor play-of-color — soft hues of pink, blue, lavender, green, and peach that shift beautifully with movement and light. The opal is framed by an elegant open filigree halo composed of twisted rope motifs, a hallmark of Valenza goldsmith workshops during the 1960s. Set throughout the lace-like structure are twenty round brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 1.40 carats (G–H color, VS–SI clarity), adding sparkle, dimension, and airiness to the composition. The split-shank design enhances balance and visual lift, allowing the ring to sit gracefully on the hand while maintaining a bold presence. Romantic, sculptural, and unmistakably Italian, this is a classic piece from the era of La Dolce Vita — glamorous yet refined, feminine yet confident. Period: Mid-Century, c. 1965–1975 Origin: Italy (stamped 14K ITALY) Metal: 14K Yellow Gold Center Stone: Natural Australian Opal, approx. 6.5 carats Accent Stones: 20 Round Brilliant Diamonds, approx. 1.40 carats total Diamond Quality: G–H color, VS–SI clarity Weight: 8.85 grams Ring Size: 6 (resizable) Condition: Excellent vintage condition; light, appropriate age patina
