Custom Jewelry - Opal and Diamond Dragonfly

This custom one-of-a-kind pendant combines a wide variety of jewelry making and lapidary techniques. We hand carved the wax model and cast the sterling silver body. The wings were pierced from 14k gold sheet and the detail was meticulously hand engraved. We hand cut a white crystal Lightning Ridge opal for the top cabochon, an Andamooka Matrix black gem opal for the bottom cabochon and he used two flush set 2mm VS G round brilliant diamonds for the eyes.
