Copper Wire Wrapped Tiger's Eye Pendant. Copper wire wrapped Tiger's Eye cabochon. Measures about 3" in height. Does not come with a chain.
This handmade statement pendant centers on a magnificent Tiger's Eye cabochon, celebrated for its captivating chatoyancy and bands of honey-gold and deep chocolate brown. At three inches in height, the stone commands attention, displaying a silky luster that shifts and gleams as it catches the light. The gemstone is secured within an elaborate framework of copper wire that has been treated with a dark oxidation to provide a bold, antiqued contrast. This deep patina accentuates the intricate weaving along the sides and the sweeping, symmetrical scrolls that crown the top of the stone. The substantial, textured bail is designed to accommodate a variety of heavy cords or chains.
The aesthetic of this piece leans into a Lodge style, evoking the warmth of natural elements and the rugged beauty of the outdoors. While it is a contemporary creation, the darkened copper and the chatoyant stone give it the feel of a discovered heirloom. Since the pendant is sold without a chain, it offers a versatile opportunity to pair it with a thick dark brown leather cord or a heavy copper curb chain to match its impressive scale. The copper will continue to evolve its own unique patina over time, though the raised details can be polished to reveal the bright metal beneath. It is a powerful, tactile accessory that serves as a grounding focal point for any ensemble.
This item is handmade. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
