A Black Opal I Love

[laurieopal]

As everyone knows, i am exceedingly partial to black opals and I love this one. Pendant was designed to create a delicate lacey sensibility for a powerful, exceptionally vivid stone.

It’s in sterling about 2.25” from the collection of Tracy Schmidt.

I’ve been working on ring designs with the stones i wrote about here. They call for very different kinds of designs and I’ve been enjoying the contrasts.

The fantasy map sculpture that I was working on forever is going out in the registered mail tomorrow. It’s a small wall sculpture and it needed one final minor change before it was finally completely done. I have an excellent photo of it and also of the component pieces. I’ll be putting them up as soon as its receipt is confirmed.
