Early Amber, Ruby and Pearl Reef

[laurieopal]

This a coral reef pendant that I created for Sheila Gilbert.  It was originally supposed to be designed around the early amber but when i found the fish-like pearl I called her and she loved the idea of the pearl. So, I recreated the design (very happily) to incorporate the pearl as a major element.

It's in sterling and about 3.5".

Right now I'm working on finishing the metal work from San Jose. There were a lot of individual designs that needed sizing, special chains etc. I should be emailing folks and sending packages out late this week or early next. (Barring proverbial acts of goddess.)

Among other things I've almost finished a copper stone (very vivid) set in silver for World Fantasy. And some new rings including a stunning hematite shot with ruby. I'll put up photos of them one of these days.
