Copper wire wrapped Mookaite Jasper cabochon. Measures about 2" in height. Does not come with a chain.
This handmade pendant features a striking Mookaite Jasper cabochon, displaying the earthy elegance of the Australian outback with its rich bands of terracotta red, creamy tan, and deep cocoa. The stone is meticulously framed by an architectural copper wire wrap that has been treated with a dark oxidation to provide a dramatic, antiqued contrast against the warm tones of the jasper. The heavy, textured weaving that borders the stone and the broad, sturdy bail that ensures it sits prominently when worn. Decorative copper scrolls dance across the surface of the cabochon, adding a fluid, organic movement to the structured metalwork.
The aesthetic leans heavily into a Rustic and Primitive style, making it an ideal choice for those who appreciate jewelry that feels like a modern archaeological find. While the piece is a contemporary creation, the choice of materials and the weathered finish evoke a sense of timelessness. Since it arrives without a chain, it pairs beautifully with a thick leather cord or a heavy oxidized copper link chain to complement its substantial silhouette. Over time, the copper will continue to develop its own natural patina, though it can be easily polished to highlight the raised textures. It is a bold statement piece that brings a grounded, earthen energy to any wardrobe.
