Copper Wire Wrapped Pendant with Skull and Cross. Copper wire wrapped picture cabochon. The cabochon depicts a skull on a cross in tones of black, silver and red. The pendant is accented with red glass beads. It measures about 2" in height. Does not come with a chain.

This handcrafted pendant serves as a striking focal point for those drawn to the darker side of beauty. The center features a domed cabochon displaying a haunting skull centered upon an ornate cross, rendered in a palette of deep charcoal, ghostly silver, and blood red. This imagery is cradled within a frame of heavy-gauge copper wire that has been expertly woven and coiled to create a dense, architectural silhouette. To heighten the drama, the copper has been treated with an oxidation process, resulting in a moody, antiqued patina that highlights every twist of the metal.

Three faceted glass beads in a rich garnet hue are nestled into the bail, catching the light and echoing the crimson tones within the artwork. This piece draws heavy inspiration from the macabre elegance of the Victorian mourning era, reimagined with a modern, dark aesthetic. It would pair effortlessly with a simple black velvet ribbon for a high-contrast look or a heavy copper curb chain to emphasize its industrial roots. Whether worn as a protective talisman or a bold style statement, this pendant offers a tactile and visual depth that commands attention.

This item is handmade. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches. Please note: copper oxidizes over time but can be polished.
