Another groove wrap, this time in Sterling. I started with a 34.15ct Mexican Fire Opal in matrix. The stone is 28mm x 22mm x 9mm    Hard to catch the fire in this one. The whole face will glow red like a burning ember, but I just could not capture it with the camera. I took at least 30 photos. By far the hardest opal to photograph. |

Very nice Christopher.
Just a suggestion, but you may want to make the binding with half as many wraps next time, it looks a tad out of proportion.

Good looking pendant. Neat wrap and the stone looks magic with all those different glares.
