When I have three projects in a row this week and I have a tendency to start with one of my projects rather than someone else's project so I had found a gorgeous natural 20mm x 30mm oval (my favorite shape) cabochon in aventurine. Aventurine is a quartzite gemstone composed of interlocking grains of quartz and small mica crystals.
This mica looks like tiny silver specs in the gem which is really going to pop once I cast this orchid in Sterling Silver.
I haven't decided on how I'm going to make the bail...I've started with a small stem with some neat texture in it.
I also found the matching 28mm x 13mm twisted nuggets and I added 5mm Sterling Silver beads between each nugget...
...I think it's going to be an awesome necklace when finished.
UPDATE: Just cast but not soldered yet. More photos to come once completed.
As soon as I have this cast and soldered, I'll post the finished piece.
