Double Delight! Two-sided Pendant – Silver, Copper, and Mokume

Softly brushed silver is the foundation for this unique double-sided hollow form pendant.

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.
