This blue african ghana glass necklace is all handmade by me including the copper chain. I made the chain using copper wire by making small figure 8 pieces and connecting them together (took me a while). I made the long bone shaped connectors by hammering two pieces of copper wire and punching holes in them. The swirl closure is near the pendant that I also created using copper wire and hammering them. The backdrop of the pendant was made by cutting a shape out of a sheet of copper, filed, sanded, hammered, and texturing the edges. The dangle on the pendant was made by adding a small Blue / green African Ghana glass bead, copper spacers, a bicone copper bead and wrapping with copper wire. The entire necklace has been oxidized for a darker color.

Necklace Length: 18 1/2 inches
