An Art Deco jelly opal ring in a diamond surround, in platinum.

The term jelly opal refers to a variety of precious opal prized for its exceptional translucency, which allows its spectral colors to appear suspended within the stone rather than confined to its surface. In this ring, a high cabochon cut accentuates this effect, lending the gem a luminous, almost liquid appearance. Vivid flashes of red, green, blue, and orange appear to float within the stone, shifting gently at any movement. The opal is framed by a continuous border of old-cut diamonds, their brilliant white appearance providing a striking contrast to the opal's ethereal quality.
