Opal
Pendant and Pin Combination
|

|
14 karat yellow
gold pendant with opal, diamond, sapphire, Paraiba
tourmaline, and tsavorite. This piece has been made to
additionally function as a pin.
|
|
A customer brought in opals
she had purchased in Australia, asking me to design a
pendant using one or more of them. The image to the
represents the resulting piece of opal
jewelry. These particular stones were chosen because each
related directly to portions of the color matrix within the
opal. The sapphires
and Paraiba
tourmalines reside on
different levels. Where they intersect, another level was
formed that contains diamonds to make clearer the
distinction. What cannot be seen is a row of princess cut
tsavorites
(green garnets)
that face upward toward the
opal. These give a subtle boost to the the greens in the
opal.
