The opals glow with lovely play-of-colour in blues, greens and violets, and the whole head sits on a neatly grooved split shank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe ring is struck \"333,\" the German standard mark for 8ct gold, placing its manufacture in Pforzheim — the German centre from which Murrle Bennett \u0026amp; Co supplied so much of the Arts \u0026amp; Crafts jewellery sold in Britain, including to Liberty \u0026amp; Co. In its design, stone choice and construction this ring sits very much in the manner of Murrle Bennett, though in the absence of the firm's monogram it is offered as a fine German Arts \u0026amp; Crafts piece rather than a firm attribution. A characterful and thoroughly wearable ring of real period charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMetal: 8ct Rose Gold, struck \"333\" (German standard for 8ct gold)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eStones: three Australian opal cabochons with blue, green and violet play-of-colour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eDesign: open rectangular panel with hand-worked foliate leaves, tendrils and gold bosses; grooved split shank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: German (Pforzheim), in the manner of Murrle Bennett \u0026amp; Co\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eRing size: L (UK)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHead size: 14.5mm x 19.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 4.28g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: Good antique condition, with wear consistent with age; opals bright and sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eEra: Arts \u0026amp; Crafts \/ Art Nouveau, circa 1900–1910\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"8ct Rose Gold","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64299976720733,"sku":"SAO406","price":1450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0887\/0471\/3053\/files\/Untitled-20copy_03e5f726-a778-4c02-aaea-592571aa3fe2.jpg?v=1784041591","url":"https:\/\/www.spectrumantiques.com\/products\/opal-rectangle-murly-bennet","provider":"Spectrum Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
