We replaced the 4 broken Opal Inlays

The owner of this ring brought it to a jeweler who sent it to us to have all 4 Opal inlays replaced. The Opal inlays had broken after years of being worn by the owner.

A certain type of Opal is best for inlay and we keep a stock of the rough material for inlaying.
