belated xmas gifts

Postby weeshan on Mon Jan 14, 2008 10:39 am

Hi all,
I decided to give the in laws my gifts when we visited this last weekend rather than shipping them by mail before christmas. I was a little nervous about giving them as these are well to do folks with lots of fine jewelry. They were very well received though. My mom in law wore her pendant all weekend and dad in law had his money clip in his pocket all weekend as well. You have already seen the pendant but here is a photos of it, and the money clip that I made............Koroit boulder opal and Polish flint.

Thanks for looking,

I imagine getting that nice uniform dome on the round stone was a bit toughy. Congratulations. The mounted stones turned out beautifully.
