Vintage opal doublet ring

This fun ring dates back to the 1970s, when lush floral designs like this were popular. The oval opal is backed by a bit of black paint, giving it a nice depth of color. The textured leaves add interest and protect the opal as well; they are highlighted by 4 full-cut diamonds with an estimated total weight of .16 carats. The opal measures just over ½” in length; the ring measures about 7/8” in overall length. 14K gold, finger size 6 ¼.
