Textured Red Patinaed Rectangular Copper Pendant with Red Beads on Brick Red Leather Cord

This Textured Red Patinaed Rectangular Copper Pendant is handcrafted from sheet metal and measures 1 7/8" x 1 1/4". I textured the copper with metal flower and circle stamps and added a light red patina. A red African bead is mounted on textured copper wire and sits suspended in the center of the pendant. Additional Red African Glass Beads and 10 x 5mm Copper beaded rondelles are hung with the pendant on brick red genuine leather cord. I closed this 17 1/2" necklace by copper wire wrapping the ends and a handcrafted textured S-Hook clasp. The red and copper make such a lovely combination and looks great when worn.
