The beauty of an evening sunset is captured in this stunning, eye-catching selection. This necklace is made from hand forged pure copper, coupled with my own handmade faux Amber polymer beads. Each sunset hued bead is finished with copper bead caps and linked together with my sturdy handmade chain. My original clasp is pure copper and soldered for additional strength. The simply designed earrings complete this original work of jewelry art!

All copper has been oxidized and then hand rubbed to highlight the hammered textures.

Necklace Length: 19.75 inches.
Earrings: Just past 1.5 inches from top of hoop.

This is another one of my creations that just came together without a lot of planning. I made the beads a while back and put them away. Many times I pulled the beads out, tried several arrangements with various other beads and metals, but nothing gelled. Meanwhile I was making a variety of copper components, just for the fun of using my torch, hammers and saw. One day, I again pulled out my sunset beads and copper components...played around for a while...the set was born!
