It's been three years now since Ian ‘Mac’ McArthur entered a jewellery competition, finally
he has and he has won again.

This time it is a first place win in the Object D'Art section of the Yowah Designer Jewellery competition.

The winning piece is a diamond studded opal handle on a stainless steel lock knife.
The winning piece will be on display at the Lightning Ridge Opal Festival next weekend and
will then return to Mac's studio at East End Bello.

Congratulations Mac, we were beginning to think that you had run out of inspiration.
