I just received this beautiful ring and it even lovelier in person than the video and presentation pictures and those were gorgeous, by the way. The craftmanship is so exacting and so perfect. The opal is the most beautiful shade of dark periwinkle fading to a golden sunset tone with vibrant green color play throughout. This is one of the most beautiful rings I have ever purchased, and I have purchased a few. Thank you so much for your skill, your artistry and for the delightful little message inside. Indeed a magical touch. I look forward to discovering another beauty in your catalogue soon. Marie
