Has anyone here worked with opal stones?

I'm looking to make some stud earrings with some white opal stones but I cant find anyone who's worked with them! 😱

Any advice will be helpful relating to this :)

@Silentangel Get the Rio Grande catalog. You will have so many ideas you will drop dead wishing you had a warehouse for all your tools...😂

@4meAndyou I'll take a look! I'm still wondering if I can bake clay with opal set into it 🤔 oven bake clay it's at a very low temperature

@Silentangel Rio Grande carries silver and gold and copper clay, but I believe they have to be fired in a small kiln. I didn't actually do it myself, but I almost took a class in it. A very small kiln might be a good investment anyway. Not only can you bake silver and gold clay, but you can create your own enamel jewelry.

@4meAndyou that is true it's nice to find another crafter here! :D
