Bronze Opossum Necklace – Handmade Animal Pendant, Wildlife Jewelry, Recycled Bronze, Nature Lover Gift, Statement Jewelry
This is the opossum necklace you need. This quirky yet stylish statement piece brings some unexpected charm to any outfit — whether you're dressing for everyday or want something special for the night out. Comfy and secure enough for daily wear, but with more than enough personality and charm to save for special occasions.
Why I love o'possums: Though Jersey City isn’t known for its wildlife, it's not uncommon to see one of these guys lumbering through a backyard. And it never ceases to disappoint, when I do! I’ve wanted to capture the character of my local opossums in jewelry for ages — and I think I've really done it with this piece! 💪
This necklace features a hand cast solid bronze o'possum created from my own original wax sculpture. Each pendant is made entirely by hand, using the traditional lost-wax casting process using a mold created from my original sculpture. Each necklace is entirely hand built and finished by me, so no two are exactly the same. ✨
This style is also available in solid sterling silver.
