Handmade Copper Wire Wrapped Carved Black Onyx Leaf Pendant
$49.99
Copper Wire Wrapped Leaf Shaped Black Onyx Pendant. Copper wire wrapped leaf shaped carved Black Onyx cabochon. Measures about 2" in height. Does not come with a chain.
This handcrafted pendant features a striking black onyx cabochon, expertly carved into the elegant silhouette of a woodland leaf. The deep, matte black surface of the stone is etched with delicate veining that mimics the organic patterns found in nature, providing a bold contrast to the warm, metallic surround. To secure the stone, copper wire has been hand-woven into a complex frame that follows the leaf’s tapering point, finished with an intentional oxidation to achieve an antiqued, shadowed look. This process emphasizes the depth of the woven channels and the sculptural quality of the copper bail.
The dark, monochromatic palette of the onyx combined with the weathered copper lends itself perfectly to a Gothic or Minimalist aesthetic. It serves as a grounded, sophisticated statement piece when worn over a charcoal knit or a simple silk slip dress. Because the copper is a reactive metal, its patina will continue to develop and change over time, though the raised textures can be polished back to a bright shine to highlight the intricate hand-weaving against the solid black of the carved leaf.
This item is handmade. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
