I have opted to put the Start to finish series on one page. I will warn you again, it is photo heavy so will take some time on a standard modem

 
Welcome to our Shop
Here we are going to show you the  entire process of creating a custom pendant from conception to completion. And hopefully some comments as we go from our Customer..
 
Choosing the stones
 
Part One
 
The Customer is looking for a Yowah opal pendant and Hand Fabricated chain... She chooses a Yowah opal because of it's rarity and uniqueness, and he play of bright vibrant colors. She has looked at- number of available opals on our Opal site (Opals2go.com) but unfortunately she is unable to connect with the correct stone... 
Realizing the problem, I call a friend in Australia who has a private collection of investment stones. She is willing to part with a sample of 7 Yowah opals.
 
 
Opal #1
    18.22ct 
 
 
Opal # 2
28.38ct
 

      Opal #3      

16.49ct 

Opal #4

     9.31ct 

Opal #5 

   18.61ct  

Opal #6

  20.72ct 

 Opal #7

  20.91ct 

 
The Customer finds had a tough time choosing between two of the stones so chooses to purchase both of her favorites Opal # 1 and #2. Carol and I weren't surprised as these two particular stones were the choice pick (and the most expensive)
 
Once we have established the center stone 
 
 
 
The end result looks something like this(S)
