So glad I chose Makeda
This Wollo opal is the centerpiece of a custom setting I'm having made — the cut quality is obviously excellent, catches light beautifully from every angle.
Exactly as described
The Wollo opal arrived beautifully packaged and the color is even richer in person than in the photos. The certificate gave me total confidence buying sight-unseen.
