description
Australia is famous for the most beautiful opals in the world. But did you know that jewelry with precious Australian opals has not been around for that long? The first European to discover opals in Australia was the German geologist Johannes Menge. He found opals north of Adelaide in 1841 - but little attention was paid to these finds, as they were not yet precious precious opals in jewelry quality. It was not until a few decades later that Australian precious opals began to be commercially mined. From there the shimmering stones were shipped to Great Britain, where they sparked great jewelry fashion. Three Australian opals are also united in the present ring from Great Britain and combined with sparkling small diamonds. The middle of the three colorful stones is shaped in the classic cabochon cut. The two smaller opals on the other hand, cut into triangles. The six diamonds mediate between the opals. The opals look just as different as the shape. The two triangles on the sides are rather milky with delicate red sparks. The opal in the middle, on the other hand, glows in magnificent bursts of blue and green light. In this way, the arrangement increases towards the middle and the cut shape of the stones also makes aesthetic sense. The ring band is made of warm, glowing, high-carat gold holds the stones with simple, restrained claws. The sequence of stamps inside the ring lets us know that the piece of jewelery was presented to the Beschaumt in Birmingham, UK, in 1901.

about us
Hofer antique jewelry
arose from the joy of beautiful things. It all started with my grandma, who was a lady who liked to adorn herself. She could tell something about each of her pieces of jewelery and when she opened her jewelery box, a world opened up: fond memories and touching stories connected with the pieces marked the highlights of a lived life. Based on these experiences, over the years a passion grew in me to deal with these small and always very personal objects.
