Custom Rings With Opal Gemstone. Custom made opal rings and jewellery are excellent Christmas presents and great fashion for this New Year 2001. Australian opals are of the finest quality in the world, and theirs no better but getting very rare and difficult to find good quality Opal gemstones, so custom rings and opal jewellery in boutiques and jewellery outlet in your country very difficult to find gem quality Australian opals. Unfortunately your local Goldsmith and jewellery designer will also find it very difficult, if not impossible to outsource good quality Australian opal these days. Semiprecious commercial grade and low-grade opal jewellery hopefully not a problem in your country.     Opals are unlike diamonds sapphires and ruby’s etc, as you do not have as much choice in colours, and virtually no choice in patterns unless you outsource a star Sapphire. Do not make your request too difficult to outsource for good quality Opal, specially a stone that fits your criteria perfectly unless you’re prepared to spend lots of money and go through an opal specialist shop, if you even have one in your country. You maybe will find a few sites only on the first few pages of an internet search will be able to get what you want if you feel comfortable making a large transaction.   Custom made Opal Ring. Even though opals can give you the best choice in colours and shapes patterns and sizes compare to gemstones like diamonds and sapphires ruby’s Jadeite etc, so don’t forget a good quality clear multi-colour opal with red with black body tone, black opal group is the most expensive so obviously very rare and can only be outsourced from only one location in the world. And only one location in Australia and the place is known as Lightning Ridge.  There is still a small amount of this type of Opal being produced around the surrounding district, but be prepared to pay as you will be buying a completely unique gemstone unlike diamonds rubies sapphires, many the same identical gemstone as millions of other people will have the same shape colour size clarity grading. Regardless of the jewellery design custom-made or straight off the shelf, there will only be one Opal and you will have it as they are all unique, so basically custom design rings you do not have to pay a fortune for the best designer, as your custom made opal ring will truly stand out in a crowd. Most of today’s opal in jewellery shops come from the country of Ethiopia and this gemstone is very porous, compare to Australian opal rings and are best kept out of the rain as the colours can deteriorate over time.  Often when you’re buying and shopping in stores etc It’s buyer beware, not pay too much and be very careful when you’re on a holiday tourist are often scammed, and...
