A gorgeous artisan bronze pendant made by artisan Anna Chernykh dangles from a hammered copper bail between matte artisan lampwork glass beads, delicious raw grossular garnet nuggets, faceted agate nuggets, lemon quartz, matte faceted nuggets of lemon chrysoprase and a touch of carnelian. These lovelies are interspersed with African copper discs. This piece features a long artisan lampwork glass bead made with silvered glass by glass artisan Pomegranate Glass and I framed it with more organic bronze by Anna Chernykh. The piece concludes with more of the matte artisan lampwork glass beads, maker unknown.

I finished the ends with a handmade copper s-clasp and handmade forged ring chain with a drop of grossular garnet perched on a handmade ball end headpin made by myself in my southern California studio. This necklace measures 16.5 -17 inches (41.5 - 43 cm) long. The pendant measures just over 1.5 inches (4 cm) across.

Please note that this is a choker, so check your measurements to be sure of a comfortable fit before purchasing! An extender chain can be added upon purchase at no extra charge if requested by convo or in note to seller.
