Description Pierced and Engraved Argentium silver pendant with a fiery green Andamooka jelly opal cabochon & a twisted bail design.

This opal has very intense green broad flash fire... it is difficult to capture in a photo. I've uploaded another photo to show the intensity of the opal in our scraps section.

I really like this -I'm all over the idea of creating a relationship between the stone and setting! Great job.

Thanks..... I liked the green of the opal in combination with the vines and the flowers. The opal is really bright in person.

Just curious... is there something about this pendant that looks off to you? You comment "still very nicely done" leads me to think maybe you see something that could have been better? We really like constructive criticism! Thanks for the comments on our work

eepppp i hope that i didn't sound mean or anything it still an awsomely made piece. I love the engraving work that yall do.
i think the only thing thats maybe it would be cool to see the same lilies on the bottomto balance the long stone. thats only because i love symmetry. again just an opinion. i hope that i was helpful through.

Like I said... we prefer to hear what you really think. We definitely do NOT want people to tell us what they think we want to hear. We can't learn and become better if we're unable to see where we can improve. So NO... we don't think you're "mean". We appreciate the honesty(:

Actually... I like symmetry too.... to a fault. I totally understand your thinking on the design. Mark is always pointing out that I want to make everything balanced and "perfect". He's quick to remind me that the flowers that inspire my designs are rarely perfectly symmetrical.

Thanks for giving us your opinion..... we'd love to hear more of that sort of thing(:

Very nice!!!
I like the fact that you are experimenting with bails.
I love lillies, but are they symbolic in some way for you?

Thanks Michael(: Mark is great at coming up with unusual ways to set gems into bails and jewelry in general. I love both the V-setting design and this twisted bail design. This twisted bail looks amazing in person.... much better than my photo shows.
