My friend Ruth, to whom I am giving the copper and sterling septarian pendant, has finished stringing it. She used two copper cords, one black cord, and a strand with 5 different color beads, some iridescent. The bead strand also includes some larger copper-colored beads with holes that nod towards the holes in the piece. There is also a segment of copper chain that can be linked to achieve different lengths. I think it came out very well, and most important it is now a co-creation tailored to the new owner. Here are smartphone pics. (I will get some better pictures this evening.)    The original thread on the piece itself is here: forum.rocktumblinghobby.com/index.cgi?board=creationtime&action=display&thread=57423I will apply a light coat of neutral wax or lacquer to prevent any additional tarnish or change in the patina. I really like that this is going to be worn around my workplace. Ruth works in the same building same floor, just over in the east wing. |

It looks so great on her and you two did a superb job on the piece. I like the multi-colored beads wound around, gives it dimension.

An unconventional, but such a beautiful work of art. All the elements match to each other so well.
I couldn't picture this pendant worn on such a normal outfit as the lady is wearing, but it fits very well this way.

phenomenal Daniel - really beautiful piece you should be very proud. I envy people who have the artistic talent to visualize something that doesn't exist and start creating it.

Ruth did a great job pulling everything together. It looks great on, too. That's really cool that you'll be able to see it being worn. It should be inspiring for you. |
