I have made this version of my Mermaids Teardrop necklace with heavy gauge bronze wire. The central frame I have hand forged, then hammered on the edge of the loops and swirls, adding a nice flow to the wire. I have then sanded the wire smooth.
The central donut stone is Honey Jade. I have embellished the face of the stone with 2 hammered heart shapes, which I have shaped from bronze wire and hammered. I have then woven these 2 frames together with very thin bronze wire, adding intricate detail. A flat Tourmaline heart briolette stone sits at the top of the wire detail, with an oval freshwater pearl in the center and a Yellow Chalcedony Faceted Marquise briolette at the bottom, all wrapped in bronze wire.
The flowing frame is connected to a handmade chain of Citrine, Pearl, Jade and hessonite Garnet beads, wrapped in bronze wire, to create the links. The necklace is finished with a handmade hook clasp.
The whole frame has a gentle smooth curve to it, so that it sits comfortably just below your collar bone. The necklace measures 18 1/2' in total. The center piece is 3 1/3'across (from loop to loop) and 2 3/4' tall (from the bottom of the drop to the top of the loops).
