One of a kind antiqued copper pendant on chain featuring a relief appliqued daisy design. The pendant is a curved wave shape and also curves from front to back to sit slightly away from the skin. The daisy pendant hangs from a fine copper cable chain from a hidden bail on the back.
Everything about the pendant is unique to my own work; the delicate texture in the background is one I created myself from a graphic interpretation of a photograph, the daisy has been created by appliqueing lots of individual hand sculpted components, which is painstaking and delicate work. The necklace has been made by me in a pink bronze metal clay called Desert Sun, which has a high copper content, but is officially a bronze. So I think it would satisfy both requirements for either a bronze, or copper piece.
The pendant is 27mm (1.1") in height and hangs 17mm (0.66") wide in wear. The delicate antiqued copper cable chain fastens with my own hand crafted hook and loop clasp and will be supplied 18" (460mm) by default, but if you'd like a different length (up to 24" within this price), please let me know and I'll be happy to make it to your requirements.
Please note that chains are made to order for each customer and are polished to match the pendant, where the ones used in photographs are 'prop' chains that don't necessarily match as well, as they are used for more than one design.
What is metal clay?
Metal clay (now available in base metals like copper, bronze, iron, steel and brass and precious metals like silver and even gold) is a clay like medium made from tiny particles of metal, combined with an organic binder and made into a pliable clay or paste with water. After working with the clay-like medium to form the article, it is thoroughly dried to remove all of the water, the shape is further refined and then fired at very high temperature in a kiln to both burn off the binders and to cause the metal particles to fuse together as solid metal - this firing takes a full day to complete for base metals - less so for silver - at which time I tend to work with crossed fingers, hoping that the kiln gods are smiling on me that day and it fires successfully. Not everything does.
