As of late, I've been very attracted to the browns, blacks, golds, silvers etc.

    This opal needs to be tamed; so introducing the above mentioned colors is a perfect way to allow the opal to have center stage.  So, in your minds eye, imagine diamonds flush set all over those gold rectangles, random pieces of swirling gold pieces holding the gems.... all on faceted black spinal beads.  I do believe it's going to be Stunning!  Winters project among other things.
