Welo opal ring

[ilovegemstones]

I found this at a local gem and mineral show. The seller went to the mines and hand picked the rough and cut it. I was not crazy about the setting but am crazy about all the colours. It has such vibrant glowing purples and blues! All the colours are there and all are vibrant. I can see a honeycomb pattern in it. It was a steal at $130 Cdn!

It is sooooo vibrant! Congrats! Those purples and aquas get me every time. And at that price you won’t feel bad about resetting it if you like. Congrats!

pretty!
I have a smoke welo opal that I love and another one that sadly I don't wear much. Maybe I should take it out for a spin soon...

Love the color play.

Very pretty and I bet it will look even more gorgeous out of that setting if you so choose.

Thanks Keeliamira, MTG, Missy, Catmom, Blugemz, and lambskin! I adore it! For now I will leave it as it is but will keep an eye out for settings!

The welo is extremely beautiful. I’m glad you looked past the setting and got it!

Such a pretty Welo opal, I love it! I would have paid $130 Cdn just for the stone

Thanks Peacechick and Leslie! I am glad I looked past the setting too!

That is so cool! I think that setting lets the opal take center stage.
