Description

The focal point of this gorgeous necklace is a handcrafted pendant of solid copper with a stone of deep, rich red tigereye set in a handmade sterling silver bezel. The copper in the pendant has a hand-hammered texture, with a "starburst" design hand-stamped at the top. It dangles from a handcrafted sterling silver ring. After making this pendant, I designed the perfect necklace, featuring elongated beads of well-matched red tigereye, as well as beads of glossy black onyx and copper. The sterling silver Bali style daisy spacers give just enough silver accent to complement the silver in the pendant. This dramatic, truly unique necklace closes with a hook and eye clasp I handcrafted of copper and black agate. Beaded strand length is approximately 21 inches, with the pendant approximately 2 inches long.

In the photos, the copper in the pendant, beads and clasp is new and shiny. However, this is natural, untreated copper, and will eventually age to a rich burnished patina. This will be beautiful, but the gleaming finish can always be restored, if desired, by gentle cleaning in white vinegar.

In one photo, I show the pendant with a sterling silver chain (not included) as an example of another way it can be worn. The contrast between silver and copper will be even more dramatic when the copper has aged to the richer finish. The beaded part can be worn alone, too, so this is almost like having three necklaces in one!

Like all my jewelry, this beautiful piece will arrive in one of my gift boxes of textured ivory recycled paper. Domestic shipping cost includes insurance.
