laurieopalThis is clearly opal time for me. I'm working on a pendant design for this breathtaking Australian black opal. The design is quite delicate and the stone is actually about one inch. I managed to get an excellent photo of it.

I've very recently bee working on a "Pandemic Shadows" photography project. I'll be posting images from it soon. The images are starting to work into my jewelry design head. It will be interesting to see what evolves. I've never had photography influence jewelry before. I think that whatever I do will be black patined silver. (I always want to spell patined "patinad".
I'm trying to figure out what kind of tiny diamonds to put in the very textured opal ring. I have some square cuts that might be lovely in a contrasting kind of a way but I'm not at all sure yet. There are other possibilities.
