Oriental Copper Swirls & Ruffles Pendant

by Marika Charalambous.
(Cyprus)

When I designed this piece I had an idea of something Oriental with swirls and ruffles, of gentle sway when worn. As I like to incorporate several jewelry techniques, I added jump rings using the chain maille technique to add that mobility to the pendant as the rings lightly touch.

Twin hearts pendant

There is actually a lot of mobility in the piece as the jump rings are also used to hold the various elements together. I love all things Oriental and I hope this pendant reflects that. The actual necklace is also handmade ring by ring in chain maille technique to match the pendant.

The second pendant has also an oriental look and feel to it, although less prominent. I call it twin hearts.
