I've Waited SOOO Long to Use These Boulder Opals | Silversmithing | Jewelry Making

I have been waiting FOREVER to find the right way to use these Boulder Opals. 😍✨ You know when you have something so beautiful that you almost don’t want to touch it until the perfect idea comes along? That has absolutely been me with these stones. I’ve held onto them, admired them, and waited…and waited…until this dragonfly finally felt like the piece they were meant for. In this video, you get to come along with me for the entire process — from those first pieces of silver all the way through shaping, soldering, setting that gorgeous Boulder Opal, and watching the finished pendant finally come to life. There is SO much color and personality packed into this stone, and I’m absolutely in love with where it ended up. 💕 Come hang out with me in the studio and watch this one come together from start to finish!
