I made this lovely lady about a year ago because I could not find a red opal ring within a price range I was willing to pay. Can you believe some of the folks on ebay trying to sell red fire opal rings set in sterling silver for over $100!?!? I mean most are gorgeous, but they are not even real opals. Like this ring I made, the opal is not real, it's a man made synthetic opal, but still gorgeous, if not prettier than a red opal.
At any rate, you can make the same dang ring for under $50.00.
I got my ring settings at http://www.pickyourjewelry.com/rings.htm, and you can buy them there too. They are sterling prong settings. You can find your opals, or gems on ebay for far less when bought loose. This particular opal cost me like $10.00, and setting it was a breeze. Simple, easy, and not to mention beautiful.
