Rotflol never mind I see Cricketgrrl called shotgun and then also read the opal is sentimental lol I just jumped in with both feet screaming shotgun when I saw that beauty, guess I should have read through the rest of the thread!

It is gorgeous!

Thanks, M_G. \:\) The green "marcasite" ring looks like the stone's in the tsavorite family... It's gorgeous, whatever it is! <3

I totally lurve the opal in the setting it's in. ;9 How wonderful to have such a lovely sentimental reminder of your childhood friend!

Mmmmmm, I'm glad to see other opal lovers too!

And now that I'm thinking of it, it really doesn't look like marcasite at all, does it? Hmm. It is silver, and the side stones have a green tinge to them - maybe glass? Ugh, I'm going to order a loupe and some gemology books!

Yeah, those are definitely NOT marcasite. Maybe Peridot? very common for that time period with other green stones. Absolutely DROP DEAD GORGEOUS whatever it is!!! I wouldnt even care! I would be sporting that ring every day!
And the opals....OMG. I think that I need to copy your earrings if I have your permission!!!!!! Put a little spin on it and put some single cut diamonds running up above the opals in the yellow gold........May I?
