In the moonlight, the plants seem to defy gravity by just hanging in space, reaching up. \u00a0The color of the trees, or shadows of the trees seem to glow, and shimmer as you move, reds, greens, and purples, yellows. Like an adamooka opal.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Night Opal Necklace<\/a>: <\/em><\/strong>Sterling silver, Andamooka opal, koroit opal, amethyst, peridot on a hand-woven Viking weave sterling chain. 19.5″ long, but can be sized to custom size, up or down.
\nThe center piece is 3.25″ wide by 2.5″ tall.<\/p>\n

I cut all of the opals and heat-sugared the Andamooka, and forged and fabricated the settings and branches. I also hand-wove the chain and fabricated the findings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I love Andamooka and its shimmer of color as it moves, which is very hard to capture in a picture. But, this round koroit, with it’s seems of fiery color really set this one off. I was going for a very textural, woodsy feel to the piece, like a walk through the woods under a full moon. \u00a0Welcome to my garden \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
