That is an exceedingly beautiful opal and the design and mounting make it far above everything else in ingenuity. Simply gorgeous.

What a beautiful Christmas gift! I am sure your wife will love it.
Is that dove shape a gift of nature, or did you trim it like that yourself? If so, what's the black filling around the dove?
Take care at that jump ring, tighten it a bit more, it would be pity such a beauty to be lost.
