For those in my family the following images will bring memories flooding back of mum and dad dressing in their 70′s finest perhaps heading out to a ‘do’ at the LTAV or dinner with Noel and Shirl.

The white gold and opal ring with 4 diamonds was made by Graeme Kellet our ‘family jeweller’.  Some of you may be fortunate enough to know Graeme from NMIT.

The prong/basket configuration underneath is exquisite.  This sort of thing is not normally to my taste but the sentimental experience along with the 70′s aesthetic has always struck a chord.  As a child it reminded me of a Christmas beetle and I have since discovered (to no surprise) that it is actually a term used in the opal industry.

And now for some images of the proud owner photographed in her native environment ‘The Temple of Wilma’. …………and a little birdie tells me that the jeweller in the family might just be next in line…….I hope the 5 sisters aren’t reading this.  Trust me it won’t be subjected to any bin artistry.
