I have to say, Mr. Catmom has been very generous with the birthday jewel budget. I got my vintage opal pendant early and last week I got the vintage opal earrings that match my vintage opal brooch. Then we happened to make a trip to Sanibel and found another creature which will be part two of this saga. Of course as luck would have it, after all that I spotted another creature that just captivated me. One of those OHHHHHH MUST BE MINE!!!!!!! moments. I felt really bad but I didn't want to pass him up so I agreed that he would be my Christmas present and as of now he is safely resting in the safe until then[ha, we'll see how long that lasts]. I know he's not to everyone's taste but to me he's a very dashing, fun fellow and I just love him. He's 18kt and silver with 7.10cts of opal, a sash of diamonds at .28cts and two ruby cabochon eyes. I've been told I'm going to have to start a sea creature subset to the menagerie lol. Here he is in all his dapper glory.....

Lol thank you! I’m so in love with opals and brooches. Win, win.

I'll join the chorus of adoration here -- I LOVE IT! What a cool find!
 
Excellent Mr Catmom.
Your occie is glorious.
love those Opals and diamonds AND ruby eyes.
What a catch! Glad he isn’t one that got away :dance:
 
I love your collection @Catmom ! Always makes me smile. If your new octopus has a play date with your other animals, can we pls have some pics of them together? :kiss2:
 
I love this little guy! No wonder you had to have him.
 
So cute!
 
He’s so cool congrats!
 
Absolutely amazing! Such a special piece! We just watched "My Octopus Teacher" and learned all kinds of crazy facts about octopuses. They are remarkable creatures.
 
H*ly F*** that’s gorgeous :love:

The opals, the colours, the waviness - he looks a bit cheeky, doesn’t he? Waving us all closer?

This. Totally this. I completely see why. You’d have regretted passing. I’m sure of it. Sometimes they just grab your heart - I’ve learnt to listen, when they do that, those purchases are never my regrets :love:

Cannot WAIT for whatever Part 2 will be!
