There''s a story, LOL!

My parents gave me this ring as a gift when I was 14. One of the opals cracked when I was 19 and the jeweler who replaced the opal couldn''t get a match. We were going through a department store and they eventually sent us to their jeweler''s store with instructions that we could choose two new matching opals of any price. We chose these and according to the jeweler, they were top-notch. Not sure if that was true, but they are much more beautiful than the original stones in the ring. I wear it on my pinky now (two kids, 16 years and 50+ pounds later

There isn't much room left for improvement for crystal opal

Whichever the finger, it will be a happy one

That is a lovely ring, so unusual to see a ring with two opals, I usually only see one, or one with a cluster of diamonds or gemstones around it or band styles with say five opals.
