Double Delight! Two-sided Pendant – Silver, Copper, and Mokume
Softly brushed silver is the foundation for this unique double-sided hollow form pendant.
In the center of one side is copper and silver mokume. As the piece matures, the copper will respond to the environment, and deepen in color, heightening the intensity of the mokume pattern.
On the other side, a polished copper bowl is the central focal point. As with the mokume, the copper’s color will shift.
3/4 inch diameter, 1/4 inch deep. Hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind. Signed.
Shown below with a five-strand black omega necklace.
