Featured Black opal nugget...

Hi all joolies
What do you think of that?

Front, under side, side.



0.5" or about 1.9cm all dimensions.

 

You cheeky girl, is this a kyratized nugget? It is beautiful, love the colours.

 

Gosh, I'm caught
AJ, of course, you're right!
A crinkled aluminium foil piece, some patches of permanent markers between multi layers of UV curing resin et voilà

 

Why don't you start your own jewellery line with kyratized opals? Kyropals Jewellery©?

 

Haha, KMO trade mark! Kitchen Made Opals

In fact, I needed something to enhance a belle epoque necklace, silver and pastes, which looked strange with this empty center!
No evidence of lacking setting for anything, but I felt it needed a cabochon
As I hate transforming things permanently, the foil trick was the way to force slightly the KMO in place without gluing

 

AJ is in the right time zone to catch you out first, but having seen before what you can do with aluminum foil, immediately suspected this was also cooked up by the remarkable Ms. K. Fabulous necklace, with & without kyratisation.

 

that is amazing kyratango

 

Wow, I thought it was some kind of rare opal!

 

It looks perfect in the necklace!

 

Cxgirl!

Rare indeed for the moment I only made 2 of them

Aww, thanks tie.die.cat I reached my goal, then

 

Very cool.

 

Wow, my tin foil never looks so good. I don't have one crafty gene in my body.

 

You da bomb girl !!!
Very creative , indeed !!!!

 

LOVE IT !!! ... Joy.

 

Now that's a good use for tinfoil!

 

Thanks all for your kind words!
It appears there is tutorials on you tube about jewellery made with tinfoil
Will have to explore that

 

Hi,
Just want to say I used to cover plain wooden boxes with tin foil and then cover them with yellow shellac they looked like gold plated.

Old trick from the 60’s. Just add a little tinfoil for good reception

Now that’s keeping it vintage.

Nice job!

 

Off topic: If I understand correctly you are passionate about ancient / vintage (fake) jewelry. I think that collecting true antique jewelry would really be a very expensive hobby. I have some old jewels that I'm not very interested in. I could send you a picture and if you like one of them I would be happy to send it as a Christmas present because you were a very nice person with me and this does not happen often. What do you think about it?

 

Oooh, Giulissa! YOU ARE THE NICE PERSON!
I was the first to welcome you, but you'll find a LOT of nicest persons here
Grazie mille
Your kind intention is already a great reward
