I picked up this stunning orange pendant yesterday. Mexican fire opal carved by Sherris Cottier Shank and set with a simple 14k yellow gold pin setting. Under the right light the glow from inside the stone is amazing.

A few more photos which do not do this pendant justice. I can only capture a hint of the internal glow this stone has. And, the carving is amazing. :tongue:

Thanks for stopping by. :wavey:

T Lee of Minneapolis closed her shop at the current location and will reopen in two weeks at her new site. There was a 50% off sale yesterday. I picked out a few pretties to enjoy. :naughty: :)) :bigsmile:

Sherris has gemstone roundtables at various locations around the US. Definitely worth going if there is one in your area. She was here a few weeks ago and I picked out a gorgeous apple green chrysoprase carving for myself. I'll show it off once it is set.

Fly I just love your taste! I would love to see a sun shot. Gorgeous stone and carving. Earrings to match? :naughty:

Thank you, minousbijoux. No sun today, but I'll try for a sun shot soon.

I doubt I will be able to find earrings to match this cut and color. But, I'll be on the lookout! :))

Thanks, Chrono.

I kept thinking that I don't need an orange pendant, but it is an amazing piece. I know that I'm going to enjoy it a lot. After all, jewelry is supposed to be pretty and fun. :))
