This necklace is made to order, so please allow up to 2 weeks for completion. Each piece is handcrafted and assembled in the USA (by me!) using traditional silversmithing techniques. I antique and polish every pendant and necklace by hand to enhance the details and restore the copper’s warm glow, creating a rich contrast that highlights the etched design.
Pendant height (from bail to base) is 1.75" (4.4 cm), pendant width is 7/16" (1.1 cm)
