Look what arrived today. AAAA Ethiopian opals! I found it odd that they are Ethiopian opals but they came from India! Anyway, I can't wait to start playing with them!!! I have a few ideas on paper but I need to draw up some more before I commit to a project. I'm always drawing up designs and sometimes they actually look like the same thing I drew!!!
These opals are so full of fire. They contain anywhere from 3 to 21% water. Interesting fact! I almost want to just make a necklace with them and keep it but that wasn't why I bought them.
Opals have been a favorite stone of mine for as long as I can remember. Hubby bought me an opal ring when I was in high school. I still have it and it's even more firey than it was when he first gave it to me. It is set in white gold. I will be working in Sterling Silver.
I have lots of fun projects coming up, so please stop back. For updates, just sign up for email updates or add yourself to the "Followers".
