Your beloved jeweller did your mother's treasure justice, it's so beautiful. I hope you find lots of occasions to wear it, and I hope that you smile every time you put it on 
I am so incredibly sorry to hear this news. What a hole in your heart you must have. Sending you lots of hugs.
HI:
As some of you know, I lost my wonderful, sweet, beautiful Mother on March 5, 2022. She was truly the sun in our lives. I miss her terribly and most days I cannot believe she is gone.
I inherited some of her jewellery and one piece in particular--an opal ring--was greatly loved and worn....and in significant disrepair. I took it to the best bench I know a jeweller I've dealt with for decades and one who makes all my custom pieces and also where I buy many handmade earrings from. I was nervous it might be beyond repair, but I after a consult I was given hope. I really love these folks and I could not trust this ring with anyone else. The ring was in the shop for 5 weeks while various processes took place. Unsetting the opal, repolishing the stone retipping, (etc etc) and transforming the broken ring back to its former glory. I picked up the ring today and it was all I could do not to sob in the shop. I had it resized to wear on my middle or index finger as it is a very large ring.
I am sorry that I am inept in resizing photos and that they will likely be unnecessarily large. Thank you for reading.

I'm really glad you have such a precious heirloom. Such a beautiful way to keep your mother's memory close and I hope this ring brings you comfort and peace in the days ahead. Sending love and hugs on such a bittersweet day. <3
Both ring and meaning behind it are beyond beautiful, @canuk-gal ❤
