Sterling silver opal doublet ring attributed to Rhoda Wager
Here is a very beautiful sterling silver opal doublet ring attributed to Rhoda Wager, and dating from the 1930's. Rhoda Wager was born in England in 1875 and moved to Australia and set up her own jewellery workshop producing pieces of jewellery in the form of rings, bracelets, necklaces and brooches between 1921 to 1946 and here we have a fabulous ring that can easily be attributed to her.
Even though her rings were not signed with her mark, she had such a distinct style with her designs and her somewhat "signature hallmark" of the double bands put on rings such as with this one here, that this can so easily be attributed to her. Measuring 18.6mm across by 19.5mm, in the centre is a gorgeous opal doublet that has such amazing and intense spectral colours emanating from it that looks more and more beautiful the closer you get to it. With a wonderful vine design wrapping around the border leading to her signature double band, this is a wonderful piece of Australian jewellery by one of Australia's more sought after jewellers.

Rhoda Wager moonstone ring
Rhoda Wager was one of Australia’s most prolific and influential jewellers of the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 20th century and resulted in producing some stunning designs using both gold and silver and various gemstones and here is a stunning Rhoda Wager moonstone ring. Rhoda Wager was born in England in 1875 and moved to Australia and set up her own jewellery workshop producing pieces of jewellery in the form of rings, bracelets, necklaces and brooches between 1921 to 1946 and here we have a fabulous ring that can easily be attributed to her.
Even though her rings were not signed with her mark, and there are many other pieces of jewellery that has that at first glance a similar style, this one can so easily be attributed to her.
Entirely made in sterling silver, firstly the band has a double band at the back instead of just one which was often seen in her designs and the leaf work with the sculptured shape and hand engraved aspects as well as the gum nuts are all very characteristic of her jewellery.
And lastly the use of not just moonstone in the centre, but a large high quality all reflects on her style and keen eye for quality.
This ring sits so well on the finger and measures 22mm by 14.7mm and the moonstone looks incredible set into that beautiful design.
Rhoda Wager jewellery is becoming more and more sought after, and this is one of the finest ones around. Stock# T436 Maker: Rhoda Wager (Attributed to) Circa: 1925 $Sold.
