So just a teaser photo, hopefully tomorrow I can rustle up some sunlight so I can get a picture that isn't so... orange!

The opal is a reset of an old setting I had, cut by Michael E. It's shows a lot of color and is pretty transluscent. I got a compliment on it not 30 minutes after putting it on!
The sphene I bought from exportgems on ebay and had it set in sterling silver by Daniel M. The color is a fairly bright yellow going honey colored in certain lights, and it sparkles exactly like I thought it would and the tiny window it had was closed right up by the setting.

I love them both and can't stop doing the "QVC wave" to watch their colors shift.

My photo (which does neither stone justice), followed by the vendor photos.

Caren's picture of the sphene, none of these pictures do it justice, I'm going to have to do the lightbox trick

maebelle these are both fantastic.
The sphene looks like a canary diamond on meth. And Michael did a fantastic job cutting that stone for you and reviving your ring.
Congrats! :appl:

Lovely present just in time for Christmas, my favourite is the sphene ring.

haha, I know the first pic is terrible, once I get a bit more sun here I'm going to tramp around outside and get some better ones. I was just too excited not to post :)

Thanks everyone!

Oh yeah! Much nicer pics where I can see the colour play of both the opal and sphene.
