Long before Andy and I were looking at rings, he knew that I did not want a typical diamond ring. And if there were to be any diamonds in a ring, they would be conflict free. Opal is my birthstone, but beyond that association, I have a particular fondness for opal: I love opalescent color palates and things that softly glitter. I do find diamonds beautiful, and perhaps one day it will feel right to own one. But now, it feels right to carry opal on my ring finger each and every day. I find opal soothing, a bit whimsical, beautiful, and not ostentatious. A reminder of how I try to live my life.
