Hammered Copper & Grade A Tourmaline Pendant on Copper Chain Necklace — Handmade
A slender strand of copper, stone, and color inspired by the irregular palette of the natural world.
The Wild Spectrum Necklace centers on a 2" copper paddle, individually formed and hammered by hand for an organic, subtly textured finish. The delicate narrow pendant is wrapped with a scattering of Grade A tourmaline chips in naturally varied shades, punctuated by matte black, copper and eye-catching iridescent seed beads.
Rather than arranging the stones into a polished, uniform pattern, their different colors, shapes, and textures are allowed to become part of the design. Against the warmth of the copper, the tourmaline creates tiny glints of green, pink, gold, blue, and earthy jewel tones.
Suspended from a delicate 20" copper chain, the elongated pendant creates a simple vertical silhouette that works beautifully on its own or layered with shorter necklaces.

Handcrafted in the Pacific Northwest
Natural gemstones vary in shape, color, and markings, and the hand-worked copper retains subtle variations from the making process. These individual characteristics are part of the finished piece.
