Goodies!!!

[waimeamomi]

I went to my first Jewelry/Gem show at the Santa Monica auditorium yesterday. Sarah was there, and I finally got to meet Fuji Voll. Sarah and I got a little quality time, and I got some very nice pearls from her, but she also pointed me to an amazing vendor, Chris from Bonita Creations. Wow, I went crazy. I got some amazing boulder opal pendant pieces, which I can't wait to work with in combination with some Tahitians or other pearls. I got some really nice Brazilian tourmaline slices, also destined for pearl greatness, and I got these awesome dendrite quartz pendant pieces that right now I just want to frame there so amazing. I'm posting pics of the quartz group, and a couple of the opals. They'll be pics of all individually later this weekend on my Etsy site, but these are just for you! Thanks Sarah and Chris!

Sheryl,

Nice! Interesting cuts on the quartz! Especially love the orange-red piece!

 

[waimeamomi]

Sheri, Sarah had a pearl that had your NAME on it. A huge freshie that was naturally shaped like an octopus. Seriously, the moment I saw it, it said SHERI! Get her to send you a pic.

Sigh, my evil friends are always trying to lead me down the path of temptation... ;o)

Trippy. Trippy.

That first opal made me think of you Caitlin, it was the Southwest sky mixed with something haightish.

 

[Caitlin]

That's the one I was responding to. Far out.

Definitely SW sky with a touch of Yaqui Magic. .......Sonoran Mysteries.

Does it fit on leather like the one on the right? I see some reconstructed 60's going on here......

 

[waimeamomi]

They all fit on leather, I just didn't think about it until after I was through with the 1st one.

I'm another fan of the dendritic quartz - very pretty!

 

[waimeamomi]

Wait until I figure out a way to add pearls to them!!

Here's the first creation. And without pearls - amazing. I almost forgot the other things I got, including these gorgeous tanzanite smooth polished stones. They have a much deeper color than I often see, and I had to have them. And they match some of the boulder opal so... I had some boulder opal beads from way back, and what you can't see is that they all have bits of opal that make them flash in the light. And a pair of matching earrings .
