Celtic Cross - Copper wirework cross with Yellow Chalcedony on a Viking knit chain
Copper wire with Yellow Chalcedony
Sold
This little cross is packed with intricate detail. The central Yellow Chalcedony faceted stone is set in a Viking knit bezel, creating a lacy knotwork pattern around the outside. Tiny woven panels fill the top three sections of the cross, whilst the flowing lines of the bare copper wire in the bottom section add a lovely contrast to the texture of the wire weaving.
I have made the Viking knit chain from very this copper wire which I have formed into a double knit. The chain is finished with handmade end caps, links and clasp.
The pendant is 1 7/8' tall (from the top of the bail to the bottom of the cross) and 7/8' wide. The chain is 16' long and 1/8' wide.
I have oxidised this necklace, giving it an antiqued effect, to really highlight the detail.
