French vintage 18K gold Tubogas opal cabochon cocktail ring
This impressive 18K gold cocktail ring is a striking statement piece, featuring a large white opal cabochon at its center. The opal, measuring 19mm by 9mm, draws immediate attention with its mesmerizing play-of-fire, predominantly showcasing vivid green and blue patterns that shift and sparkle in the light. The opal is beautifully highlighted by the ring's setting, which is surrounded by a luxurious tubogas gold frame.
The tubogas design, often seen in retro necklaces and bracelets, is a distinctive style known for its smooth, rounded, interwoven wires of gold. This intricate technique creates a flexible, seamless band that offers both volume and fluidity. In this ring, the tubogas setting adds structure and presence, allowing the opal to take center stage while also giving the ring a bold, sculptural feel.
With its substantial size, this cocktail ring makes a statement wherever you go, while the opal adds an element of magic and intrigue. It's the perfect accessory to pair with your next cocktail!
