    I would have left the opals in their original settings, so beautiful. I have several pieces of jewelry, plus some uncut stones. I love them

    I think opals and moonstones are more beautiful than any other gems. ❤

    I love opals and rubies are my birth stone. This makes the choice harder, but I would leave all the jewelery as it was originally. I think the history and value of things that are reworked is lost in the process. I would have both opal and ruby tiaras as they both are lovely against the skin.

    I love bright opals, but they can crack.

      They’re very soft and need lubrication, oil to bring out the brightness

    I used to work in a jewellery shop in a major tourist spot in Sydney Australia that specialised in opals. Never heard of a curse or anything. Sold heaps to tourists especially white and black.

    I really like the rubies in the Oriental Circlet Tiara, and the Ruby brooch. Prince Albert really did an amazing job creating jewelry. I’m not a fan of opals. I had 2 rings stones that cracked.

    I think opals can be very beautiful, especially the black opals out of Australia.

    The late Queen Elizabeht during her coronation tour received from the government of South Australia a very large opal and diamond necklace and matching earrings. She only work them once, during the tour., shortly after receiving them. It would appear that opals were not to her taste although she did wear an opal brooch gifted by Australian ex servicemen on appropriate occasions such as Commonwealth Day.
    I understood that opals were considered unlucky because of their changeability, or in more old fashioned language, their inconstancy, hence making them unsuitable as a gift to a partner

    My Mother’s birthstone was Opal. She had some beautiful opal jewelry, but refused to let me wear and gave hers to other family members with the same birthstone. Prince Albert died at 42 years old. Did he really stand up to the myth of opals?

    Opals are great. I think they're best on people who are pure of heart. Maybe that's why people think they're cursed. They're meant to be worn by children and saints.

      The Oriental Circlet would be striking on Princess Catherine. It is such a graceful piece.

      The Oriental Circlet is one of my favorite tiaras.
