Boulder Opal and Emeralds

Sold

One of my favourites sold today, a small boulder opal with streaks and a pool of colour. The tiny faceted emeralds pull out the greens in the opal but in bright light  more colour and sparkle appears as well. I got into jewellery making because of my love of opals, particularly boulder opals with their infinite patterns and unique nature. It is rare to find affordable boulder opals with colour so I don't often have them for sale, but when  I do I especially enjoy it when I can make a totally unique peice I love, and share that with others. Initially I had placed this stone on a cord, but the stone seemed delicate with the emeralds, and it looked wrong, as soon as I made a gold filled chain and clasp it all pulled together and hung correctly. I hope it brings its new owner much enjoyment.
