Blue Kyanite Wire Pendant

I found this kyanite stone in a little shop, and could not resist buying it! I’ve had it for a few years, wanting to become better at wrapping before I tried to make anything with it.

For the wrap I used dead-soft copper wire, and solid copper beads. I used a hard-boiled egg to patina the piece (this is my favorite way to patina almost anything…no toxic chemicals!). The finished pendant measures approx 2″ x 3/4″.

Although it is larger than pendants I’m accustomed to wearing, it feels very nice, and is not too heavy to be comfortable. I feel it turned out very nice, so nice that I’ve giving it to my bestie for her birthday!

(This is not my original design; this is my interpretation of Lisa Barth’s tutorial for the “Criss Cross Pendant”.)
