Congratulations! That is the prettiest ring I have ever seen.

Jacksback · 31/07/2019 20:33

Beautiful !!!! Congratulations x

BlackSwan · 31/07/2019 20:37

It's just beautiful! Really unique and lovely. But please - manicure!!

Songes · 31/07/2019 20:41

That is a BEAUTY!!! Congrats ❤️

DariaMorgendorffer · 31/07/2019 20:47

Stunning! Congrats op Thanks

Kleptronic · 31/07/2019 20:47

Opals are not unlucky when given, only if you buy them yourself. Allegedly. So all good!

ReginaGeorgeous · 31/07/2019 20:55

What a beautiful ring! And congratulations on your engagement too!

VenusTiger · 31/07/2019 21:03

It’s gorgeous! I love opals! What a beautiful story about the proposal too - congratulations Flowers
Love happy stories! The man did good.

Yes, as PP said, they’re like pearls so be careful with it.

MadCattery · 31/07/2019 21:06

Someone said they thought opals were unlucky. I heard that too, but only if you buy it for yourself. If bought for someone as a gift, or someone buys for you, it’s fine. And that one is just gorgeous!,

ZootSuit · 31/07/2019 21:20

I absolutely love opals, I am so jealous! What a beautiful ring, it deserves to be shown off 😊

CruellaFeinberg · 31/07/2019 21:28

Its lovely, it reminds me of my grandmothers engagement ring, she had my mother in around 1940, so married just before

Beautiful

Robs20 · 31/07/2019 21:31

It’s beautiful and so unique. Congratulations!

FenellaMaxwell · 31/07/2019 21:35

It’s gorgeous. It might be worth doing what I do - mine is an emerald and also quite delicate so I have a “stunt ring” I wear for every day, and then I wear the real one for special occasions.

Justgivemesomepeace · 31/07/2019 21:37

Beautiful. Opals are my favourite stones and that is exactly what i would choose myself. Love it.

CarolDanvers · 31/07/2019 21:41

It's just beautiful! Really unique and lovely. But please - manicure!!

Seriously?

But please - shut up with your critical comments that might make a delighted OP feel a bit shit and take the shine of this lovely thread.

Love it OP. I've had two engagement rings - one a vintage sapphire with diamonds on either side and the second a diamond solitaire. I've always thought I'd love an amethyst and diamond engagement ring but I don't want to be married again so might have to just buy one myself Grin

Jupiter13 · 31/07/2019 21:45

Oh my it looks fabulous....you are very lucky...nice hands too..☺️☺️☺️☺️

justasking111 · 31/07/2019 21:48

Gorgeous, congratulations Wine

FieldEscapee · 31/07/2019 21:59

Who the fuck comments on a happy thread about a beautiful ring on some very pretty hands to tell the poster to 'manicure'?

Campervanlife4me · 31/07/2019 22:04

Stunningly beautiful! Opal is my birthstone. Congratulations!

Lizzielocket · 31/07/2019 22:11

Stunningly beautiful ring on a very pretty hand, nails look so much classier in their clean and natural state rather than fake red talons.
Congratulations and may you have a happy and healthy life together ❤️

BustedDreams · 31/07/2019 22:38

Beautiful & elegant ring.

Kitsmummy · 31/07/2019 22:38

Don't worry, I can't get upset about the manicure comment....I'm in the middle of a house renovation so me and pretty fingernails do not go together at the moment (it's a miracle they're not covered in paint tbh!)

A beautiful ring on beautiful a beautiful hand . Congratulations to you both OP .

flowerstar19 · 31/07/2019 23:08

Stunning OP! Congratulations! I also suggest being super careful, I had a beautiful antique opal ring my now DH bought for my 21st birthday but In dropped it and it cracked :(
