New Moon Wish

Description

It has been said that with every New Moon, one can make up to five wishes. One of the five has to be World Peace though. Maybe, just maybe, if we all start wishing for World Peace, it might actually happen.

A thick copper wire has been hand shaped into a dove and has been hammered for strength. The dove holds an olive branch in it’s beak, made from peridot gemstone drops and copper wire. The weaving of the body has been executed in non-tarnish sterling silver wire. A 4mm Swarovski crystal has been used for the eye.

After it was finished, the necklace was heavily oxidised and polished with a brass brush to achieve a steel like patina on the copper. The steel grey color is softenend by the natural golden undertone of the copper, contrasting beautifully with the bright silver weaving of the body.

All material is raw copper and non-tarnish sterling silver in 14g and 26g.

Pendant including olive branch: 9cm x 5,5cm - 3 1/2”x 2 1/4”
Length is fully adjustable up to 53cm – 21”
