Happy overall
Nice Wollo opal. Slightly smaller looking than I pictured at this carat weight, but the color makes up for it.

So glad I chose Makeda
I was nervous about buying a gemstone online, but the detailed specs and macro photos matched the stone exactly when it arrived. Couldn't be happier.

Exactly as described
My jeweler was impressed with the clarity and cut when I brought this in for setting. Will absolutely be back for my next piece.

A genuine treasure
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.
