Victorian Celestial Jelly Opal & Diamond Ring Size:10 The gold bail and seal

The gold bail and seal base are both present on this Georgian piece

and displays the vivid colouring typical of the Derby factory

this lovely piece is very typical of the era

behind which rests a skull and crossbone motif along with gold cipher initials: AL

for the obvious reason that the light is allowed to pass through the coloured enamel work - just like stained glass
