Welcome to opalholicsanonymous.com where opal season lasts forever.

With so many members on the left coast I thought some of you might like to know about this since they're having a 60% off sale before they move to their new location in Palo Alto.

Awesome! Britt treats us to 2 magnificent pieces of opal jewelry eye candy, and they're really quite impressive so check out this bracelet, and imagine how good the necklace is since that shot doesn't do it justice. 8-) Britt’s Pick: Jacquie Aiche’s Opal Inlay Curb Chain Bracelet By Brittany Siminit...

Whoa, I doubt any of us will be signing up for this deal at the price quoted, which includes a lot of amenities for the engagement proposal, but not the ring so this deal comes with a hefty price tag few of us could ever afford. ;) Stephanie Gottlieb and Ritz-Carlton Partner for Over-the-Top Engagem...

These are all nice, but I don't care for the kyanite and diamond necklace in the lead pic at all, or most of them for that matter. The one item that stands out for me in this one are the abalone and diamond earrings, probably because I have loved abalone since I was a kld, and I already have 2-3 pai...

We have some lovely diamond jewels here as well as one stupendous Ceylon sapphire and diamond ring, and this photographer did a great job so kudos to them. 8-) Harry Winston Diamonds Headline Bonhams Sale By Annie Davidson Watson | May 23, 2024 https://www.jckonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Ha...
