Produced in the contemporary era by me, this artisanal pendant showcases a complex, layered wire texture and a dynamic, asymmetric silhouette centering a vibrant green onyx focal.
This one-of-a-kind pendant features a deep forest green onyx cabochon, prized for its smooth, consistent color and grounded presence. The stone is hand-wrapped in copper wire that has been treated with an antiqued patina to achieve a rich, dark finish, emphasizing the intricate textures of the metalwork. Adding a unique layer of detail, a small, translucent green glass bead is woven into the copper framework just above the main stone, catching the light and echoing the onyx’s earthy tones. The design is completed with a substantial, vertically-ribbed bail that gives the piece a balanced and refined silhouette.
The combination of deep green and warm, aged copper makes this an ideal accessory for an autumn-inspired wardrobe or a botanical aesthetic. It pairs beautifully with mustard yellows, deep burgundies, or simple cream-colored knits. For a more sophisticated look, style it on a short copper chain over a silk olive-colored blouse. Because the copper will continue to develop its own unique character and deepening patina over time, this pendant becomes a truly personal piece of wearable art that evolves alongside its owner. It is a thoughtful choice for anyone who appreciates the marriage of natural gemstones and artisan metalwork.
Details: The pendant is about 2 1/4" in height by 1" width. Does not come with a chain.
