    Default Sea theme pendant

    I generally work on commissions without a day off over christmas but its so stressful I took less orders this year and finally had time to make something for myself.
    I finished this along with a present for a friend at 3am on christmas morning LOL.
    Boulder opal from Australian opal auctions along with 3 Alexandrite and a tiny champagne diamond.
    I wanted it to be suggestive of a Ray hence the shape and the gold wire.
    Then added a small starfish and a 'stone' cut from my horses hoof to go along with the earring I made ( I only wear one).
    Happy christmas to me

    That's a change in style and very effective Sarah. I really like boulder opals too. Dennis.

    They're both lovely Sarah, I particularly like the suggestive ray shape and all the detail

    You know since you sent me the link I can spend hours on opal auctions! My very first purchase should come in Jan too although I'm not 100% sure what I shall make with it yet - I just loved the stone!

    Turned out lovely and it's always nice to see a unique design.

    I'm sure your customer is very pleased with it.

    Alexandrite is my favorite gem so I am just a little envious you bought and kept three!

    The earring is very covetable too..
