Well, I finally broke down & tried my first faceted stone. I could have used less wires but since it was my first one I wasn't real sure how many I would need & I was off on my measurement, mainly because I didn't exactly know what I was doing. Next one I am sure will go easier!   |

Thanks, Diane, I was hoping someone would refresh my memory on what kind of opal that one was, because I sure as heck couldn't recall it's name!

Too cute! It looks like a sweet dessert with whip cream on top. |
