Vintage 18K Yellow Gold Blue Sapphire & Opal Thai Princess Cocktail Ring
A spectacular vintage statement ring crafted in solid 18K yellow gold, featuring a towering and elaborate dome of deep blue sapphires surrounded by luminous opal cabochons. The opals display beautiful flashes of blue, green, and warm color that shift with the light, creating a striking contrast against the richly colored sapphires and yellow gold.
The sculptural setting rises dramatically from the finger, with layers of individually prong-set gemstones arranged into an ornate floral dome. Marquise-shaped opals form the outer halo, while numerous faceted blue sapphires create the richly textured center.
Often called Thai Princess or Harem rings, these distinctive vintage cocktail rings are known for their elaborate high-domed, multi-tiered gemstone settings, frequently combining colorful stones in ornate floral or clustered arrangements. This example is especially striking for its combination of blue sapphire, iridescent opal, and 750 18K yellow gold.
