Copper, Gemstone, and Freshwater Pearl Multistrand Necklace
Description
I love the way this piece turned out!It all started with the copper flower I handcrafted from copper sheet, and decided to adorn with a freshwater pearl as its center. It took about 2 days to complete this flower, and I loved its simplicity and organic nature.
I had planned to hang the copper flower from a simple copper chain and call it a day, but the more I looked at it, the more I decided it deserved better!
I envisioned an earthy, asymmetrical necklace that would showcase the flower, and began by carefully selecting a few gorgeous pieces of leopardskin jasper, with incredible color – the greens range from a subtle moss to a vivid emerald, and there are a rich variety of mauves, burgundy, and grays.
I paired the leopardskin jasper with a few pieces of sparkling muscovite, some aqua terra jasper, and 3 different colors and shapes of freshwater pearls. I added lots of copper spacers, and finished the strands with copper Bali-style cones. I connected one side to my copper flower, and the other to a soldered link of copper chain that I hammered and then oxidized. I then attached the strands to some simple copper chain which I had first oxidized, and left a generous extender, to allow the owner multiple options with the length. Measuring from the lowest of the 4 strands, the necklace can be as short as 18 inches (for a slender neck) to as long as 24 inches.
