The ring itself is beautiful, the opal is very brilliant and has lovely color. The metal on the other hand that is supposed to be sterling silver appears not to be at all. I had only had it on for about a day and a half when I realized it was turning my finger green.  I was quite upset as you can understand since I payed $109.00 for it.  I expected the ring to be of good quality for a price like that and was disappointed to find that I might as well have dug it out of a cracker jack box.  With that said and knowing what I know now I wouldn't have wasted the time or the money on this ring regardless of how pretty the opals are.
