The ring itself is well made, but keep in mind the stone will not look the same as the photo. With that said, I was still a little disappointed with the way the stone looked vs. how it is represented. I knew I wouldn't get what was shown in the photo, but the opal is more of an opaque/milky white and you really have to work with it in light to see the slight iridescent qualities and even then, it doesn't shine, or look beautiful. There is some smokey grey mixed in, too, which I don't love. It my choice to take a chance on this without seeing it in person, so I'll keep it, but I don't think I'll take a chance on opals without seeing the exact piece I will be getting. I think the seller/maker meant well, but some stones are just going to look better than others. Maybe i'll try something other than opal from this seller, because I do think other stones are more forgiving in their differences.
