Description
During the "Icy Hellz" project, I began to doubt my own ability to make a decent piece of jewelry. So I put down the stupid dinky rocks that were making me tear my hair out and asked to pick out two faceted stones from my stash for me to wrap.

Of those two, I selected this blue topaz that had been quietly gathering dust for a few years. "Flo" (what I call my jewelry muse) decided to show up again and I made this gem. It heartened me enough that I was able to finish the Icy Hellz job.

It won't leave me unless there's a dire need. Heaven knows I need all the sanity I can get!

Carved/faceted blue topaz, 14K gold-fill (rolled gold) wire
