My birthday present is finally here! I'm totally in lurrrrrve with it! I've been wanting a fire opal ring for a while now. I almost never wear yellow gold, but I'm really starting to appreciate its beauty. Now to buy some YG and gemstone eternity bands to stack next to it... :halo:

It's set in 18k YG, vendor is Gemvara.

Can we get more closeups of the side detailing? I think I love it, but I can't quite see it...

Gorgeous....simply beautiful. Did you get the setting from Gemvara or you got the entire ring from them (stone and all)?

Thanks, everyone :)

The whole ring is from Gemvara, stone and all.

Sorry for the bad photo quality, I just took some pics on my iPhone. Not the best, I know. Here are a couple other shots which may show some more detail:

I think Mexican fire opals are some of the most underappreciated ORANGE gems. They can be so vivid orange!!

Thanks for the feedback everyone :)

I was hoping the stone would be PS-approved! I caught orange fever from all of the stunning orange gems displayed on these boards, and am glad to have one in my collection now :).
