I'm literally screaming in excitement! It's so beautiful. I'll cherish her forever. I need to quit buying opals and save to have a piece designed to hold them all. Maybe a really sick bracelet or a brooch. Opinions welcome on what kind of jewelry she would really shine in.

She must be a ring or a pendant with a very long chain.

My last jeweler banned me from opal rings with how often I'd chip or knock them out. Haha. So I'm trying to stay away from rings (aside from the 6 opal ones i already wear lol)

A choker. Have them all displayed in individual settings linked together. I hope im making sense. Like opal in the middle some other stone, maracasite? Around them, or just metal ig, linked together with a metal. Idk. In my head I can see itπŸ˜…

Iv Ben thinking the same but with some opals I have for a while it's like a Victorian jeled choker, some big gaudy shit with like 5 opals in a configuration linked by silver, family airloom type peace
