18K Black Opal Pendant


Here's my latest masterpain.....which was actually a joy to make, as are all my more challenging pieces. It has an integral mechanism which allows the opal to be turned and locked into one of four positions. The concave dish behind the stone reflects a dynamic image of the back of the opal out towards the viewer's eye. It is made from 20.9 grams of 18K gold. Here's a link to 34 process pics of it's creation with explanations.
