My Blue Topaz Ring With Opal Band

I traded in my diamond ring for a pretty ring with a brilliant blue topaz.
She is surrounded by a band of gorgeous iridescent opals.
My husband did not question it, knowing my love for jewelry changes
This was six years ago; this exquisite ring continues to be a favorite.

My diamond ring is somewhere; unsure where and do not care.
This blue topaz ring uplifts me, replenishes me, revives me.
It gives me energy and enthusiasm.
It gives me strength; I feel love from it.
Fingers on my left hand do not feel complete without it.

Other rings parade back and forth on my right hand,
but this gem stays where it is.
On my right hand, ring finger, where other women park their diamonds.
The color of the sky and the ocean surrounded by white cap opals.

I think the appeal is simple.
It is a ring that I fell head over heart in love with,
I feel that it reflects my relationship with myself.
I have had many compliments on this ring.
Others feel the power she exudes.

I love this color of gem, too. I own at least over a hundred wonderful rings, but maybe ten are my very favorite, and the blue topaz is one of them. Love your joy over that ring.

I don't really care for diamonds. I love and get hypnotized by colorful gemstones. Topaz for November babies and the stone is in all shades of Blue. I remember giving this gemstone to my mother, most especially the London Blue topaz. And the multi-colors that opal brings out is so so mysterious. I can picture your beautiful ring and the beautiful colors it brings out. Love your poem.

Wonderful. I'm so happy you got a ring you truly adore. Be sure to check out Deborah's Jewelry Box. I love gemstones, for some reason, but don't have many now.

It is by far my favorite piece of jewelry

I knw how you fell about this ring Caren. I collect opals because it is my birthstone.When I was a young girl I always wanted my birthstone and never had one. When I grew up I bought my own and have bought all my rings and earrings opals ever since. When I die I will leave them to my grand-daughter who was also born in October. This is a fine write my friend. God Bless, JB
