A gorgeous Yellow Sun Agate Cabochon is backed by a handcrafted copper prong setting creating a lovely pendant measuring 1 7/8" x 1 3/16".  A brass wire wrapped copper wire serves as an artistic bail for the pendant. Yellow agate beads are enclosed on each side by my handcrafted copper bead caps.  The pendant and beads are hung on a solid copper chain.  This 21 1/2" necklace, drop is 3" with pendant, is closed with a handcrafted brass hook and eye clasp.  You will be wearing a piece of jewelry art should you purchase this unusual one-of-a-kind necklace.  The last picture shows the back of the pendant.

All Artisan Jewelry is handcrafted by JoAnn Williams in the Kaminski Jewelry Designs studio.  The pictured piece is the item you will receive.  All pieces come with a lovely gift box.

Keeping copper and brass clean and dry, removing any oil or perspiration helps prevent oxidation. Although it can tarnish over time, copper resists tarnish better than many other jewelry metals (including sterling which turns black). When it does oxidize it takes on a soft brown, antiqued color as it darkens, a much sought after "vintage" look in jewelry. The tarnish on copper and brass can be easily removed if you prefer a bright look. If you do prefer the bright look, keep your copper piece in an air tight bag or jewelry box to prevent tarnish when not wearing. In addition, Copper jewelry is often considered to have healing properties.
