My latest silver works. Smaller stone is Australian Black Opal doublet, bigger one is common Opal from Serbia. It is very hard to get a good photo of that iridescence effect. Here a caught that iridescence relatively well. Thanks for looking. Zoran

Bravo!!!! Great work. Simplistic, straight forward, good designs. Have you tried sawing the band half way and spreading it? I do that a lot and make the band touch the front of the stone, and the back. Great work. Good stone setting on the pendant. I like. Doc

Great job on everything. You do some fine smithing. The opals are very nice; I like the last one the best; The tear drop in the pendant is also really cool; I think I changed my mind I like it the best

The pendant is awesome, and the first ring is also beautiful and has a gorgeous stone.

Ok Zot - you got the silver knocked . . . time to start on the gold! All three look great, Zoran, but the pendant is a real knockout! Great job on the stones too. Rich

Thanks, everyone, for the kind words and support. So, I can keep posting?! ;D
I plan to make a couple more until Sunday (actually I already made one new ring with Lapis Lazuli), since next week I'll be on the field trip (doctoral thesis related).
Doc, I do plan one like that with crimps and some semi transparent to transparent stone - maybe citrine.
Parfive - great avatar.
Thanks, Zoran
