1863 15ct Gold Opal Quatrefoil Ring antique silver necklace 3 inches by 1Description: A nice antique, heading towards Georgian aesthetic here; the date letter "O" could be for any number of years as many look quite similar, however, whilst the shank and the setting have a very Georgian feel, 15ct was not used as a standard at the assay office back then and also opals didn't really appear on the scene until later in the Victorian period. Age: Birmingham hallmarks for 1863 Size and weight: 1. 79g size 7. 5 P Materials: 15ct
