Charoite Pendant and Ethiopian Opal

I'm working on a group of rings and on several commissions. The flame and salamander is resting for a bit but I'm really happy with the way the salamander is developing

This is a charoite pendant. It's a lovely purple stone and set in a sterling design. The photo is only OK but I decided it shows it well enough. It's about 2" long and from the collection of Tracy Schmidt.

..


These are two views of an Ethiopian opal I'm working on for a commissioned pendant. The design will be challenging because the colors in the stone are varied and depend on angles and positioning. It will never look like either of these views all the time. It's one of the things that make it exciting. Pendant will be for the collection of Bayla Fine.

It's late but I think I'll work a little more.
