Are you as appalled as I am?

I have an opal on my wedding ring, and the ring isn't fancy either

Yikes, just be careful with it - opals can be very fragile.

I would have liked an opal engagement ring but I worked in a lab at the time and with all the crud I got my hands into I would have had to take it off a lot, a sure way for me to lose it. So I opted for a small sapphire (almost as strong as a diamond) with miniscule diamond chips on either side. As rings go it was pretty inexpensive, but I really like it to this day.

My husband never thought a sapphire could be an engagement ring. We saw someone with one and he was completely in love with the look. He said if he had only known he could do that I would have one instead. He doesn't get too excited about jewelry but he was completely taken by the sapphire engagement ring. He should have watched Friends I reckon.
