A guy on another forum I frequent is looking to sell an engagement ring and while I'm already out of the market for something like that I was wondering if any of you jeweler guys in this thread would like to take a look. It's size 7, center stone is Princess cut, .51 carat and graded (G-H) and (SI) in clarity. Smaller diamonds are round, add up to .18 carats and are (SI) in clarity.

I can post (or PM) a link to the photobucket he's got the pictures posted if you're interested.

I'm thinking about buying an opal pendant necklace for Christmas but I don't know anything about opals. Any good buying guides out there so I don't get something that's poor quality or overpriced?

I really like Ethiopian opals. It's hard to explain the difference between the different origins, though. The best I can say is that Australian opals have color that sits on top & Ethiopian opals have color that lives inside. It's confusing, and photos don't really explain it.

This is a ten carat Ethiopian opal I recently picked up. It has a blue base color with green, pink, orange, and red flashes. It's that interplay of changing color that makes opal so exciting.

Wow that opal is super sexy. That’s exactly what I’m looking for, except about 8-9 carats too big.
