I absolutely adore opals though. I used to admire my Nana's beautiful opal ring when I was little, and remember distinctly she promised to leave it to me when she passed away. Unfortunately it didn't happen. I have since heard that it is bad luck to receive opals as gifts.I guess I won't be asking for this ring for Christmas.
So I picked my favorite colour that shimmers from opals.......and give you Turquoise stuff!
I heard it's only bad luck to buy opals for yourself. So maybe you just need to leave a pic of it lying suggestively around :-)
ReplyDeleteOoo, in that case I'll drop some hints. I'm owed an engagement ring...and a wedding ring for that matter.
ReplyDeleteBut I have also heard it is bad luck to wear opal if it isn't your Birth Stone (libra). So back to square one!
I meant to ask, is that a Lalique bowl? It sure looks like one. My Dad collects them and he would have a heart attack if you had found one in an op shop!
ReplyDeleteI have a book on Lalique, but have not seen a similar design.It doesn't have a signature, and I think there are numerous French glass wear manufactures.
ReplyDeleteIt does have a wee chip rendering it not valuable :-(
