Well, almost. Still have to finish the back of the ring stone. That isn't a scratch or inclusion in the center of it. Trust me, I had to grab the loupe and check to after seeing this photo. Must have been some swarf in a fingerprint. Not there now.
Have one more flat-top oval black - with minimal color - that I'll saw into two pieces to make earring stones. That will make it a decent ensemble.

Yeah, rockjunquie , it is a little darker, but they look almost the same at a normal viewing distance.
The earrings will be the same way, but it will do for making up a jewelry ensemble - and I can't just cut a bunch more of these to match color.
That pendant stone is the selling point. The complementary stones would just help sell it to someone who has to have matching pieces.

Pardon the ignorance, but what are they? (other than gorgeous)

Lightning Ridge black opals.
Thanks for the complimentary comment on them. Those are what I had hoped to find and cut when I started this journey.
