Purple Mohave Turquoise Button, 39x16mm, Electroformed Copper with Shank, Optional Clasp, Gemstone Focal Button, One of a Kind

This is a high quality composite stone from the Kingman Mine in Arizona, cabbed by Jeff Hansen of Stone Shaper Designs. The stone is about 10x30mm. It has a strong metal shank on the back with an opening of approx. 3x5mm. The stone is bezel set by encouraging organic growth of electroformed real copper. This is a large focal button that I envision as a clasp on a necklace or bracelet, but could also be a fastener on textiles. A true focal point for a one of a kind work of art. Copper has become a very popular metal to use with stones and beads, and even with other metals like sterling silver for a mixed metal look.

MAKE IT INTO A CLASP FOR BRACELET OR NECKLACE - as shown in the photo, if you choose this upcharge I will send a hammered copper ring and a 5mm saddle brown leather loop with ends long enough for you to string beads and tie a knot on the ends. If you prefer another color leather - send me a message before purchase - I keep several colors in stock - blue, red, black, cream, white, green for example.

A Note About Copper Electroforming: It is an intricate process of fusing pure copper onto surfaces with low voltage electricity. Each piece is unique and often has rustic (but not sharp) texture. It is then antiqued and polished to highlight the copper. It does not require polishing, but some people do like to use a polishing cloth or a light rub with very fine steel wood to bring out the copper highlights. Please do not immerse in water or liquid jewelry cleaners. If necessary, wipe carefully with a damp soft cloth.

NOTE: Photos are taken by me in natural light on a neutral gray, brown or white background with a digital camera in order to provide accurate colors. However, colors can look very different on individual computer monitors.
