Hi everyone, I recently made two pendants. Each one is a present for some special person and occasion. Firstly, a hematite jasper. I made it for my mother in law, as my in-laws recently celebrated their golden wedding.   And the 2nd one is an Ethiopian opal. I bought this stone from Munchen (mineralientage) and made this pendant for Ina. It's a present for her birthday.  I added a very thin layer of Lapis on the back of the cab, to "help" the blue flashes in the opal. Here she is, proudly wearing it:  Happy birthday, darling! Thank you for looking, Adrian |

What an interesting and un-usual way of sinking the wrap into the stone. Never saw it that high in the stone. Works superbly! Great job on both!  |

I love the hematite:) Great shaping and shine. I know she will love it and its perfect for a golden wedding anniversity:)
And the higher groove on the opal makes it more of a design element. Really interesting concept and beautiful stone. an heirloom.
Your models ( wife and daughter) are beautiful in their own right but wearing your designs made with love is really special.
Happy Birthday Ina:)

Thank you everyone!
I posted this by mistake in this section, I thought I am in the cabochons section. These are far from custom jewelry designs, just my regular groove wraps, LOL. George, if you could move this thread there I would be grateful.

Very cool. It is fun to make jewelry for your loved ones. Its probably fun to make jewelry for customers too, and when i get one i'll let you all know. Do you know where the hematite jasper comes from? It reminds me of Tiger Iron and some chatoyant US Jasper i have seen.
