Opals are said to be unlucky because they crack and shrink. The stones were often lost out of their settings....therefore being unlucky. My partner doesn't particular like setting opals because of this but he has made some lovely pieces.

I love opals and I've got some gorgeous ones but one ring that has 3 opals in it has a crack in one of the stones.

I was drooling over some very pretty and absolutely stunning opals the other day while I was up Hatton Garden picking up some silver and clasps for Paul. Beautiful stones!
