In Paulette's by Design Studio

This is one of my favorite places to be in all the world...like being a kid again:  "What would happen if I did this?"..."How would this look if it was turned this way and paired with that, but upside down and turned slightly to the left?"  Ahhhh, FREEDOM.

I found a beautiful rough cut Australian Boulder Opal while in Tucson this last winter - what a score!  (The lady from whom I purchased it was such a delight!)  I wire-wrapped the stone in sterling silver and gold-filled wire, and used Australian Boulder Opal chips, sterling silver rounds, and earth-tone and silver seed beads to compliment it.  The set was completed with a matching pair of earrings (not pictured), and sold during the 2013 Sequim Arts Tour.
