Pretty. I love all kinds of opals, but they do need extra care.

That is the prettiest Mexican opal I have seen.

I agree - I have never seen one so colorful as this! Where have they all been hiding?

I want to eat that confetti coloured jelly bean. Yum!

Pretty!! I never see opals quite like that!

Very beautiful. I love opals and the fire and colors that they have...unique and full of life...enjoy!

ILG: can you show us the undercarriage of the ring? Did you/Janish use any special backing to the stone to make it show off so? TIA

Thank you guys! It only looks that awesome in direct sun. Here is an underside pic, Minous. Nothing was done to the back - the opal is in it's natural host rock on a sterling backsheet.

Wow! pretty pretty!

 

[minousbijoux]

Thank you for the pic of the back side. It really looks lovely - and I bet it looks pretty regardless of whether its in the sun or not!

I have a janish jewels rings too. She made this setting for me as I already had the opal. Wonderful artist to work with.

I have never seen Mexican opals with such fire and color. Usually they look like a big blob of KY with a hint of colors if you angled it the right way.Very pretty.

 

[mariedtiger]

That is wonderful!!!
