Gorgeous African turquoise stones were combined with handcrafted copper to create this bold statement necklace. I created the neck piece out of solid copper sheet and hammered the metal to create a rich, organic texture. The stones have beautiful hues of green, blue, brown, black and rust which contrast beautifully against the warm glow of the metal. The neck piece hangs from a solid copper chain with an intricate stamped design and is finished off with a sturdy, *easy-to-fasten* hook & eye closure.
MEASUREMENTS: The neck piece measures 3" in width and the necklace will hang at approx. 20" in length. It is signed on the back with my initials. The metal was sealed with jeweler's wax to resist tarnishing.
✤ Although commonly known as African turquoise, this natural stone is a type of jasper found in Africa with a matrix structure similar to turquoise.

All my jewelry is my own original design and handcrafted by me in the USA.
