I finally (briefly, after 1.5 years) got my boulder opal bracelet custom made from my own opal collection! Now I have to give it back...

...but, not to worry, I will get it again. I had this made at a local, family run jeweler who has made custom pieces for me before and honestly, done great work. This is why I walk in knowing it will take a long time - people love working with a family business they have known and trust for generations - especially in a big city.

The bracelet is made with 9 boulder opals, which are my favorite type, held together 18k yellow gold. I guess he misjudged the link length needed. Oh well...I get to add 1-2 more opals, and I am NOT sad about that!

The second part of the video contains the opals I took back to my guy for consideration to add on.

I'd love y'all's opinions on that last part!
