.06 Vintage Victorian Diamond & Opal Dragon Ring 14k

This Victorian dragon ring began life as a stick pin, later reworked into a wearable cocktail ring. Fine scale texture covers the dragon's body, set in a mix of 14 karat yellow and rose gold for warm, layered color. A round cut diamond weighing .06 carats rests at the dragon's mouth, graded F color and SI1 clarity, meaning it reads nearly colorless with only minor inclusions that stay hidden to the naked eye. Light moves across the stone with a steady, clean glint. The dragon's eye holds a small opal, .02 carats and 1.5mm across, its surface shifting through soft flashes of color as the hand turns. Sitting low on the finger, the ring stacks easily with other bands or stands well on its own.
