Of course, you know I love playing with circles and curves. I guess I ought to submit one to the contest. :) Hope you enjoy it. Photoshop gradients in background. Photoshop pen tool work in the gold designs. Photoshop manipulated photo of real turquoise - my favorite stone (and color).

I don't know how you do this, but I marvel at the results. This is wonderful in the pale creamy tones with the blue stone and gold filigree. Actually, my favorite stone is the one you are wearing, which I presume is topaz.

A gorgeous creation Nathan. Turquoise happens to my favorite as well. Love both the soft & detailed curves. Best of luck in the contest.

Oh Nathan, this is so beautiful. But then, you nothing less than this ever. The turquoise is just wonderful, and those little orbs of topaz it looks like are a perfect touch. The curves in this creation of yours are gentle and softly flowing. I got a wonderful turquoise bracelet in Montana not long ago. You'd love is as well..Thank you for a magical design..I always enjoy them so much. Verena

Magical, Nathan. The turquoise looks lovely in its gold setting, and the creamy background is perfect.
Beautiful curves, I am sure it will shine in the contest :)
