I
love the earthy and primitive patterns of Aboriginal art. Marrying
earthy lampwork lentils with 3/4 inch pure copper discs featuring my
own hand-drawn Aboriginal style etchings, I've created a simple
necklace that is rich in style!
Measuring a generous 33 inches in length, I've designed a hook that
allows you to adjust the necklace as you please. It's long enough to
double into a choker if you wish.
The rich hues of this gorgeous necklace are difficult to capture in
photographs. I've oxidized the copper to bring out its warm inner glow.
It is actually a near-black with deep coppery red highlights, bringing
to mind the extreme climes of the Australian Outback. The finish is
preserved with a protective enamel coating.
I made matching earrings and was not going to include them as I
accidently broke one of the small lampwork beads. (oops!:)) However, it
glued together perfectly, with a nearly invisible seam, so I'll include
them at no additional charge with the necklace. They are about 2 inches
in length.
