Wired Copper Pendant

I discovered this large chunk of solid copper on vacation. I love the richness of color in copper. I think it looks great surrounded by silver as the two compliment each other. Of course this nugget had to be wrapped in wire as there is no hole…I don’t drill…but it was just enough to accent […]
