I had thought I might upload a picture of my wife's favourite opal. It's a 4.5 carat oval opal cabochon that I bought, loose, for our 25th anniversary. Later, we accumulated a number of other diamonds from other jewellery she wasn't wearing, and had a custom designed pearl enhancer (removable via a special hinged bail) made to accommodate the opal. I have refrained from uploading the picture because I simply have been unable to capture the fire in that stone. A stone I neglected to include in my previous post is demantoid garnet. Garnet comes in every colour but blue. Most garnet commonly seen is pyrope garnet. Nice, but there are many other examples of garnet that are much prettier.
