Comments:

My customer had been given this opal by her father. After having it unset for a while she decided she wanted to wear it so together we modified a design she had seen to suit her gem. The opal swings inside the frame and getting the centre of gravity for the opal to hang straight was important.

As this opal has moving gold parts on gold parts over time it will need to be checked and serviced as discussed in the article below.
