Copper Wire Wrapped Millefiori Pendant. Copper wire wrapped glass Millefiori cabochon. The pendant is accented with a rose quartz bead. Measures a little over 2 inches in height. Does not come with a chain.
This handmade pendant features a vibrant millefiori glass cabochon, a traditional Italian technique that translates to a thousand flowers. The stone is a dense mosaic of miniature floral patterns in brilliant primary colors, creating a joyful and intricate visual texture. At just over two inches in height, the glass is secured within an architectural copper wire wrap that has been treated with a dark oxidation to provide a sophisticated, antiqued contrast. Nestled just above the main cabochon within the copper scrolls is a delicate, translucent rose quartz bead, adding a soft touch of blush pink that balances the bold colors of the glass. The wirework is detailed, featuring heavy woven layers and hand-formed curls that lead into a sturdy, integrated bail.
The aesthetic of this piece leans into a Bohemian & eclectic style, celebrating a love for global artistry and layered, colorful details. While it is a modern handcrafted creation, the weathered character of the metal and the timeless nature of the glasswork give it the presence of a found object from a traveler's collection. Since the pendant is sold without a chain, it offers a wonderful opportunity to be styled with a vibrant silk cord for a summery look or a heavy oxidized copper chain to ground the bright colors. Because the copper will continue to develop its own unique patina over time, it can be left to darken or polished to bring the bright, warm highlights back to the surface of the weaving. It is a soulful, tactile accessory that brings a cheerful, artistic spirit to any ensemble.
