Helm Chain and Wire Pendant

Helm Chain and Wire Pendant

This is my prototype for a new line of work I've been musing on for almost a year.

I made the chain with sterling plated and raw copper rings and wove them in the Helm pattern. There is a copper magnetic clasp. I bent and hammered the freeform pendant shape and wove beads into the center. The beads are Czech glass seed beads, Japanese metal seed beads, copper over brass, and Thai silver. I finished the piece with a dip in liver of sulfer to oxidize, then it spent about 3 hours in the tumbler to clean and shine in curious and magnificent ways.
