Description

Aged copper oak leaf necklace cut from sheet copper, hanging from black waxed cord.  This necklace is based on an oak leaf I found, which I used to create a template.  I cut the oak leaf shape out of sheet copper using a jeweller’s saw.  I then used blunt cold chisels and a hammer to make dents for veins.  This means the necklace is not flat.  After that I treated it with liver of sulphur, which gives an aged copper colour or patina that’s stable and fixed (other ways to give an aged copper colour can rub off).  The colour is a mid-brown, close to milk chocolate I’d say.  It will be supplied in a black presentation box. The pendant is 4.5cm tall.

For this leaf, I’ve added a copper T-bar clasp.  This isn’t lacquered so will got darker with time.  For the clasp, the swirly end slots into the round end.  If you want the necklace cord shorter you can always tie it with a knot.

I also make a shiny copper version of this necklace –
