A friend has been very helpful to our family for a few years and never wants anything in return I know its good to recieve but time comes when its almost embarrising so I thought I would make a present for his wife. I got the leaf setting at a gemshow and cut the opal from the nice material that I got at the same show.   She was very happy. Thanks for looking. Bill |

Very pretty. What did you use to adhere the opal to the setting? I've got a bunch of tiny cabs that I'm trying to figure out a way to make them pendants but I hardly ever see any that I really like. Your's though, that is really nice. Could be a leaf, or turn it up and it's a flame! lol Nice work!

I like it, and I bet your friend's wife enjoyed it very much. The colors in that opal are outstanding.
