Pretties

I'm glad these pieces got finished yesterday when I felt ok. Today I've been struck down with the dreaded 'man-flu'. We all owe the men in our lives an immense apology for not understanding how dire it can be and for skimping on the sympathy.

So today I have my red cufflinks, a silver and gemstone wirewrapped bracelet and an 18ct opal and white sapphire pendant to put into my shop.

She shoots, the lightning ridge opal gets it.

I'm back.

after the absence of a few days from the shed and a few weeks since I could work it regularly, today has been pure bliss.

A whole day dedicated to jewellery. I decided that I would set the opal into a delicate pendant. I don't always do delicate but today was special. I wrapped the lightning ridge opal in 18ct yellow gold and suspended a sparkly white sapphire underneath. It works like a dream.

The photo is of the pendant in it's raw state before polishing as this one is gonna need a hallmark.
