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

Gena Williams
For Very Large Lapis NecklaceDorothy 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.
Rachel Little
For Rachel's A necklace pendantI lost a very important necklace of mine and wanted almost an exact replica and was definitely not disappointed! It's absolutely perfect she did a fantastic job :)
Ann
For Ann's 3 faux pearl & purple crystal necklaces. 3 matching bracelets. 2 matching pierced earrings, 1 pair oWorking with Dorothy was a pleasure. I sent her a picture and she made all 9 pieces perfectly and as ordered. Excellent communication. Very professional. I can't say enough great things about her!! She has all of my future orders. Any clients needing anything from here out? Dorothy will ALWAYS be the one I will go to!
Dan Riley
For Seashell NecklaceWhen 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!
Barbara
For Teardrop Labradorite Earrings Wire Wrapped In Sterling Silver WireDorothy was very kind and patient throughout the project since I asked a myriad of questions.

The beauty of her work is on par with her lovely inner self !
