"Hammered Sunburst"
This is my number one best selling necklace and always sells out when I sell at shows. It's also the necklace I reach for the most in my own closet!
Playing around with wireworking was how I got my start into jewelry making and I was so excited to revisit that with this necklace. I hammered each bit of wire individually and then hooked them around a delicate hammered circle that I also made from the same wire. I strung the sunburst from gunmetal chain for a nice contrast to the gold wire. The wire has some small black hammering marks which you can see in the photos which give the necklace a rustic feel and matches the black of the chain. I then wire wrapped three tiny gold cubes into the gunmetal chain for an extra sparkle on the side. I'm so happy with how this necklace came out!
Necklace measures ~30in and the pendant hangs down about 3in below that. I am happy to shorten it to any length so please let me know in a message when you purchase it. Hammering is different every time so the necklace you receive will be slightly different than the one shown here.
Please note: I hammered out the hanging part of the necklace from thin wire and although they are sturdy, if you throw the necklace in your purse with tons of other things they could bend! The more the wire bends back and forth, the easier it will be to break so please treat this necklace kindly. When traveling, I recommend keeping it on your neck (yay!) or in a small box to keep the pendant safe. As with all jewelry, keeping this necklace in a plastic bag when not in use will help to prevent tarnishing.

CARE: I use plated metal in this piece. To prolong the color, keep your jewelry in a sealed plastic bag or box when not in use. Additionally, you might want to leave your jewelry off on the hottest of summer days because excess sweat can speed up the tarnishing process. Please do not swim or shower with your jewelry on as this will also increase tarnishing. Please convo me with any questions!
