Copper Vessel Pendant

Copper Vessel with Cane Glass and Leather Strap

Working with wire is a freeing experience. This is the first vessel style pendant I’ve created with wire.

The rim is made of 14g copper that has been formed into a rough oval. Then 16g wire was used to create the main spokes of the vessel. 20g copper wire was woven inbetween all the spokes to create a loose basket effect and then pilers tweeked each of the wires to create a flowing movement to the piece. It measures 3 1/2 across and is 5 in length including the fringe. The leash is black leather that is adjustable from 18 in length all the way to 30. You just slide the little ceramic beads until you get the length that looks best on you. The ceramic slides hold the necklace in place.
