And one final one:

I'd been dreading setting the stone on this one and so was putting it off- however, it went like a charm.

Sunburst Plique-a-jour with Citrine Filigree plique-a-jour pendant in a sunburst pattern, with a central citrine (7 mm). This photograph shows how it looks when back-lit; there's a picture in the gallery of how it looks when worn, but the colors here are just too pretty to resist! I used 2 shades of blue and 2 of yellow-gold for the sunburst effect. This was designed as something of a companion piece to my "Dancing Star" filigree/plique pendant. 1.125 x 1.375 inches (29 x 35 mm) Sterling and fine silver, glass enamel, citrine (7mm)

WOW! That is awesome!
How much does something like that sell for? Or, more to my point, could you do a hamsa and if so, how much? (Feel free to email - whitecrow0 [at] livejournal [dot] com - if you'd rather not talk about in in public.)

I would expect I could do a hamsa. The thing is that both the filigree part and the enameling part require a lot of work, and so it ends up being pricey. Take a look at the stuff on www.pliqueajour.com for an idea...
