Peruvian Blue Opal Bangle Bracelet

Beyond Sunset is a gorgeous wire wrapped Peruvian Blue Opal Bangle Bracelet. This particular piece gave me fits and just did not want to come together until about 1:30 AM in the morning, thus the name, beyond Sunset...... far, far beyond, lol.

It is available for purchase at my Etsy store, lvsbeadsnthings.etsy.com

More Peruvian Blue Opals

For those of you who have come to know (and love) me, you know my admiration of opals. I love opals of all types, sizes, shapes, colors. Ammolite and opals are my two favorite gemstones and when ever I run across them I will snatch them up and use them in my custom wire wrapped pieces. This time as I was searching online for supplies I ran across some gorgeous fan shaped Peruvian Opal gemstones. I swear, it was like finding hidden treasure!

This Peruvian Opal gemstone is 15x15mm. It is surrounded by a sterling silver wire wrapped setting and accented with 4mm Swarovski opal crystals and a 4mm frosted silver bead. It is currently for sale at my Etsy store, http://lvsbeadsnthings.etsy.com/

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek. I appreciate your interest.

Wire wrapped Peruvian Blue Opal

Although I am pleased with the finished piece, I have to tell you that this bracelet was one of those pieces that gave me fits. I don't know how many times I reworked setting the stone. Perhaps the problem was the size of the nugget, or the fact that it was my last piece of Peruvian Blue Opal. I LOVE Peruvian Blue Opal and the look had to be just right.

I finished the setting off by adding Fire Agate rondelles. The gemstones on the sides are Crazy Horse Jasper. It is wrapped in Sterling Silver.

This is one of those pieces that will more than likely be a keeper. Some stones were just meant to stay with you. This is one of them. ;-)

Peruvian Blue Opal - WOW!

Those of you who have come to know (and love) me, know that I love Opals in all sizes, shapes and colors.  The Peruvian Blue Opal is one of my most favorites and yesterday I decided to wire wrap one of the stones I had picked up in my travels.  Here is the finished product.
