I've been coveting all these gorgeous opal pieces I've been seeing and now I have one of my very own!! It's a Mother's Day/Birthday present. Have I ever mentioned how much I like May? :lol: It's set in white and yellow IMG_1960[1].jpg IMG_1961[1].jpg IMG_1971[1].jpg IMG_1979[1].jpg gold which I really like. I never realized how hard it is to get a true photo of an opal. Hope you guys are ready for a ton of pics, lol.

Aww thanks yssie! I love the setting but I'm glad my fingers aren't any shorter or I'd be in trouble.

Thanks lambskin. I initially fell in love with an opal pendant my jeweler wears and my obsession has grown from there.

Thank you Sharon! I love how the color changes depending upon how you move it. Yes, the pictures of that pendant do it no justice at all. I really covet it but it is her personal piece and I haven't been able to talk her into giving it up. :lol:

Thank you so much junebug17!!! I love everything about it too. I was afraid that it was too big for my stumpy fingers but it's settled in nicely, lol.

Thank you ZestfullyBling! I love the color too. It's crazy to me how it switches color from blue to green depending upon the light source and how you are holding it.
