Artist's Comments

No, I have not abandoned wire work - not by any means. This is one of those pieces to show that yes, I've been busy.

This piece is a "sunset topaz," a white topaz that has been cut using curved facets to make the colors even deeper and wilder. This stone is, well, big. Very big. But I love it.

Someone once offered me some good money for it if I'd re-wrap it in gold for them. But I think the silver makes for a better setting.

Your thoughts?

Imo, the silver suits it better than gold would. But I'm biased towards silver anyways ;)

Wow the name is so apt...Its an amazing piece!
:iconamazonite:
Thank you! I love this one, even though it has a small flaw in the stone that I found after I wrapped it....gives it more character. But then it is a character...;)

Thanks! :) I like the silver better as well...I think it makes it light up more. Gold would have lowered the "party content" of the stone.

Totally silver. It has the better drama content for the stone. (And I use and wear both so can say I'm mostly unbiased ;) )
