Here are two more photographs of very different work. Please click on photos for the far better image.



This is carved white jade probably 19th century, set in bronze with a carved bronze dragon. I love old jade. Making a suitable dragon for it was serous work. It's from the collection of Nancy Cobb and is about 2" wide.

This Austalian opal stick pin is carved in sterling and is about 1.5" high. It's a stunning small opal and is from the collection of Bayla Fine. Thanks to Kurt Siegel for the excellent photo: opals are difficult to photograph!
