<p>[QUOTE="alynnfin, post: 4417269, member: 18516"]This looks like a very old setting to me. Although of course they can be reproduced. I bought it under the assumption it is a fire opal but my a gemologist said it was not but a Mexican jelly opal. If it has value more than I paid for it, I will keep it for now, but if not it goes back. I am not familiar with the pricing for the older Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, if it is one of these. On a regular scale for the whole thing, it weighs .2 oz. The listing said the opal weighed 4.82 grams. Size 6. Thank you in advance.[ATTACH=full]376153[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]376154[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]376155[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]376156[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
