On our way home from a nasty experience at Opal Cutters, we took a stroll through the Strand Arcade and happened upon Spectrum Gems. My wife had seen someone wearing a simple opal ring earlier in our trip and could not get it out of her mind. The nasty high-pressure sales person at Opal Cutters told us that we'd never find what we were looking for. Well, Spectrum Gems had exactly what my wife was looking for - in fact they had 5 or 6 rings for her to chose from! Earlier in our trip we had bought my wife a beautiful bolder opal necklace so we were looking for something in the lower price range but still nice.
This is a very nice store with no pressure to buy and beautiful pieces in a wide variety of price ranges. Next time we go back to Sydney, we'll definitely be back to buy more here. (Plus the Arcade is very picturesque) read more
