EDIF#6, 2016 - traveling to ETHIOPIA

EDiF - #06 in the World Tour, My Search for Color – Ethiopia
Here I am in the Welo District, north of Addis Ababa, on a hunt for some opal cabochons to mount in this set of sterling silver earrings I designed. The opals from Ethiopia are especially colorful and brilliant. In fact, they are second only to the renowned opals from Australia for fire and shimmer. 
I did think it might be a challenge to capture those qualities. 
I had no idea how challenging. Not a clue.
