Teardrop shaped antiqued copper and red coral pendant

This antiqued copper necklace features a hand made teardrop shaped solid copper pendant, wire wrapped with a single red coral bead and a feature spiral bail.

This entirely hand crafted pendant has been made from one piece of heavy gauge copper wire, cold forged into a long slender teardrop shape and coiled at the top to create a feature bail to hang from the chain. The teardrop has been wire wrapped with a finer gauge of copper to hold a single deep red bead of dyed coral.

The teardrop has been hammered and shaped and extensively polished. All of the cut wire ends have been filed smooth to prevent snagging and the pendant has been antiqued to bring out the texture of the wraps and coils.

The pendant drops 46mm (1.8") from the chain and is 18mm (<¾") at its widest. The internal diameter of the coiled bail is a generous 6mm (¼") allowing it to be worn on different chains or thongs.

Chain, length made to order:

The pendant comes with an antiqued copper chain which closes with my own hand crafted hook and loop clasp.  The chain will be made for you to order when you advise me of the finished length that you'd like it, up to 550mm (22") - if you'd like longer than 22", please add the 'Copper chain - extra length supplement' as in the Related Products below to your basket too - and don't forget to tell me what finished length that you'd like.

Please note:  This item has now been sold, but something similar could be made to order, please ask if you would like something making for you.
