Handmade Copper Wire Snow Leopard Pendant

Copper Wire Wrapped Pendant with White Leopard. Copper wire wrapped picture cabochon depicting a snow leopard. The pendant is accented with a blue flat back cabochon. The primary colors are white and blue. Measures about 2" in height. Does not come with a chain.

This handcrafted pendant captures the silent, freezing beauty of the high mountains. The centerpiece is a domed cabochon depicting the majestic face of a snow leopard, its thick white fur and charcoal spots rendered in soft detail, punctuated by piercing eyes. The imagery is secured within a heavy frame of copper wire that has been skillfully woven and coiled to create a rhythmic, textured border. To enhance the wintry aesthetic, a smooth azure cabochon is nestled into the bail, echoing the cool tones found within the leopard’s gaze.

The copper has been oxidized to a deep, antiqued patina, providing a dark and moody contrast against the bright white of the central art. This piece draws inspiration from the rugged elegance of the Lodge aesthetic, blending natural wildlife motifs with an industrial, armor-like metalwork style. Because the metal is natural copper, it will continue to develop its own unique character as it oxidizes over time, though it can be easily polished to restore its original glow. This pendant makes a powerful statement when worn on a simple leather cord or a heavy copper chain, serving as a wearable tribute to one of the world’s most elusive predators.
