My Newest Copper & Turquoise Pendant

by Becky Jamin.
(Florida, United States)

This was made from ‘re-purposed’ 71 year old copper sheet. When the roof on my house needed replacing, I kept all the ‘valley’ copper, 90 linear ft!

Copper & Turquoise Pendant

Since the copper had been in the Florida heat for so many years, it was already annealed. I’m teaching myself form folding and other metal working techniques.

I also used 14 gauge ‘re-purposed’copper wire, drawing balls on the ends then attaching the turquoise piece over the wire pieces.

Pendant with leather neck cord

It now is hanging with a knotted piece of brown leather cord. I also made the hook/eye clasp from 24ga. wire. Sorry for the dark image. I’m quite proud of my Copper pendant!
