Thank you for exploring L'Adore Opals! My first goal is your satisfaction.

I began my jewelry creativity by wire wrapping Australian Boulder Opals and Ethiopian Crystal Opals. They are amazing stones! If you enjoy unique, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry, we have something in common. I wire wrap these unique gemstones using most any wire from brass to 14k gold filled. I sometimes add other gemstones to accent the focal stone. I am also creating chain maille jewelry, and jewelry using other stones, glass and crystal, as well as shell and pearl.

I would love to work with you to make your imagination a reality; to create something for you that you can hand down for generations to come.

Sincerely,
Dorothy

    For Very Large Lapis Necklace

    Dorothy was great! I was interested in large lapis beads and was on a very short deadline. She completely reworked some pieces she had, changing all the accent beads and closure to sterling as I wanted and creating something entirely new. She did the work and shipped package to me in just a couple of days so I would be sure to have it for a birthday gift. My sister was thrilled with the beautiful earrings and necklace! I'd gladly work with her again.

    For Seashell Necklace
    5.0

    When I submitted my request for a necklace to be made using items I supplied (in this case a seashell and a cheap rhinestone), I had no idea that I would be receiving a work of art! Dorothy took my materials and crafted a masterpiece! I was absolutely gobsmacked when it arrived! I know that the recipient will be blown away when she opens the box. Dorothy is a professional in every sense of the word. Every aspect of the process was very smooth. I would not hesitate to recommend her for any custom project in the future. I know that I will be dealing with her again!

    Dorothy made a very unique and beautiful necklace for my grandmother, which we both love! It was the perfect gift to celebrate her 70th birthday. I liked the ideas, and creativity that Dorothy had to offer, and she was always quick to communicate any issues, questions and comments.
