Good value
Solid purchase for the price point. Customer service was responsive when I had a question about the treatment disclosure.

Even better than the photos
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.

So glad I chose Makeda
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.
