We have opal in California? I have a thing for tourmaline and opal. I've got a fire opal ring that is to die for. Surface or subterranean?


I have a pink and green tourmaline bracelet that's one of my favorites (bought after the robbery). I see some gems in there that look just like what was used for this bracelet. All gold wire, twisted and looped, with a hook closure instead of a clasp. I can show a photo if you like for inspiration. :)

Here it is, then. :) I love this bracelet for a few reasons, but mostly because I love how the stones were graduated by color in such a creative and delicate design. Hopefully you can see how they did it. Bought from eBay, now I can't find the seller anymore.

Wow! I wanted to be an archaeologist when I was younger, but didn't have grades to get into any decent schools and went for a graphic arts degree. Totally stupid because it still fascinates me.
