Hammered copper heart pendant with tendril bail

An entirely hand crafted copper heart pendant and necklace.

The heart has been freehand formed in heavy gauge copper wire and soldered closed, then hammered for hardness, shape and texture. I've made a double ended copper tendril which coils around the heart and forms the hanging bail, ending with a melted blob of copper on each end.

The pendant has been antiqued by oxidising to black, then polishing back the proud surfaces to leave the texture and details enhanced. The pendant hangs from an antiqued copper chain which closes with a hand formed hook and loop, antiqued to match the chain and pendant.

The chain shown in the photographs is my own, but one just the same will be made for you to order when you advise me of the finished length that you'd like it, up to 550mm (22") - you can have longer too for a small supplementary charge.

The pendant drops 52mm (2") overall in height and is 38mm (1½") wide overall. The bail has an internal diameter of 6mm (¼") to allow easy switching to other chains and thongs for a different look.
