WIRE WRAPS, BEADS, & JEWELRY
NOVEMBER 2008 I am in the process of making a store still... These frames of gems and jewelry are older. Call for availability but I left them here to admire the Opalized woods.
Virgin Valley Opal in Wood Matrix Beads and Pendants. Bezel set and wire wrapped Virgin Valley Opals and some inexpensive Andamooka Matrix beads.
Most of the wood and opal beads were sawed off longer pieces; some of which are still for sale. Those drilled holes were all treated to insure no existing fractures could compromise the stones strength. I include a linen cord with the pendants or a silver chain for $5 extra. At present I don't carry any gold chains.
The next top corner piece is Sterling Silver with a super gem conk bark center stone with a cornerupine garnet, a boulder opal, and a fire opal side stones. It's my necklace that Leah made for me and is worn daily-NFS. Cut off the end of a stone that made the cover of Rock and Gem October 1999.
$30 Sterling Silver and 14 kt Gold Filled genuine gemstone wraps with a linen cord Free shipping and handling.
Swordfish Mining made our reputation as prospectors & miners offering a miner direct source of loose stones and cutting rough. I'm now offering opal mining claims while marketing on the Internet and in person.
