The customer service at Opals Down Under is awesome, they had the patience to spend several months going back and forth finding the right opal and right settings and went above and beyond being helpful and took pictures of multiple opals from different angles to give a better perspective to put together a beautiful unique one of a kind ring. I now have a fiancée who is in love with her ring. I can’t say enough good things and would recommend Opals Down Under to anyone looking for an Opal.

Got the opals a couple of weeks ago and am totally pleased. Each one is unique, which is perfect as I can use them for different types of jewelry. Really would like to buy one nd have you set it, but it is so hard to picture in my mind what the setting would look like just through sketches. Hope you understand. Thanks
