I like this photograph better. It is a beautiful piece.
Stones with opalescence to them are very hard to capture in pics.
Great job!!!

I find this photo acceptable but not as good as I would like. Photographing our pieces is still something I struggle with more than any other aspect of this business. I've even considered taking a photography class! Some galleries, contests and groups will deny your work simply on the basis of poor photography...... I've had it happen. It comes down to either hiring a professional photographer or taking the time to teach yourself. I've had a few galleries and groups, such as Ganoskin's Orchid Gallery, tell me I need to submit "museum" quality photos of my jewelry. It's frustrating when your work is rejected on the merits of your photography rather than the jewelry itself...... but it's just part of the business.

Thanks for the comment Michael

Thanks(: I think the bail adds a lot to the piece.... the upward twist of the bail matches the feel of the climbing lillies. Mark is great at coming up with usual bail designs and gem settings

Glad you like the pendant... thanks for the comment!

Thanks...I like the opal too. It's funny how fiery green opal is often labeled as a bit less valuable than fire and flash in other colors (red fire is hands down the most prized and sought after)..... but green is my favorite color so I might be biased
