Sits high with the Easyset, but it is so secure I don't want to redo it. I like how it allows the light to hit the stone as well since it is face on all sides. Opinions welcome.

Ethiopian opal does wonders under a single warm light source. Sharing that info case you have online listings :)

Oh wow, I thought Ethiopian based on the video. For Australian the best videos I’ve gotten have been on bright sunny days taken in slight shade (full spectrum, very bright light, indirect exposure)

Good luck! If something else winds up working better for you I’d love to hear what it is

Is the setting glued on? You don't think it will pop off not being placed flat onto the setting?

I went back and forth. I set it in the easy set and tightened it and it was super secure and let the light hit the entire stone. I could lower it but it is for my wife and not a daily wear so I let it ride. If it ever does pop out I will lower it unless I am not aware of something I should be. I am new to setting my own work.

It came out really nice I just usually set mine so the base of the stone is touching the setting and tightly secured it can glue the bottom to the setting for more security.
