This necklace was just finished today. I created the clay pendant drop with a sheet of art done in clay in a Mokume Gane technique. The clay is layered and then sliced through to get the pattern. Then I cut pieces from the clay, cure it, sand it and cover it with a coat of resin.
Working with solid copper wire, I sculpted the base for the pendant, hammered it to give it strength and just kept working with the wire in a free style method to get a desired look. The pendant is coiled with tiny guage copper wire and wrapped with hematite stones and copper beads. The large stone in the middle is carved black stone. Then, I created the links of the chain and made the copper necklace and a hook for closure. The chain was then tumbled to harden the copper links. I then oxidize the chain which, I think, brings the color of the hematite up into the necklace.
I think it came out pretty cool.
