Got the opals a couple of weeks ago and am totally pleased. Each one is unique, which is perfect as I can use them for different types of jewelry. Really would like to buy one nd have you set it, but it is so hard to picture in my mind what the setting would look like just through sketches. Hope you understand. Thanks

To my surprise and delight, I found my ring waiting for me in my mailbox upon arriving home from work today. Seeing it for the first time literally took my breath away. Yes, there was an audible gasp! Pictures can only do so much. Quite honestly, it’s the most beautiful stone I’ve ever seen. We don’t have anything like this in the states. It fits perfectly and is more than I could have ever hoped for. Saying ‘thank you’ feels like an understatement. Please know it will be treasured for a lifetime.
