Artist's Comments

This is a shot of the centerpiece of our new three part necklace. The necklace is made up of three pierced and hand engraved sections, 2-layers of 14k gold overlay on the flowers, a fiery multi-color Andamooka Gem Matrix opal set in a 22k gold bezel, 14k gold granulation and flush set diopside accents. The opal used in this design is among my favorites cut by Mark.... it has intense fire and strong color saturation in blue, red and green. The diopside accents are some of the brightest green gems I've ever seen.

That opal is BREATHTAKING! :wow:

You've really made a balanced piece out of it, though - it's not too overwhelming - it is just a part of the design. Lovely work. ^_^

No way.... your Posey necklace is amazing! Your hand carving work is incredible on that piece.

I'm glad you like the new necklace though:) I'll be posting another photo that shows all three sections tomorrow.

This piece is just stunning! :)
Everything fits so perfectly together. The metals, the stones, the design - everything.
It is one of the my favorite pieces of yours. Definitely. :)
