Emerald Crystal, Copper Woven Wire Gothic Archway and Hanging Lamp Necklace

This delicate and detailed necklace features a narrow gothic archway in woven and spiraled copper wire, oxidized and hand-polished.  Inside the archway hangs a dangle made of copper beads and a Swarovski crystal with a rainbow sheen, like a hanging lantern framed by the architecture of a gothic cathedral.

The archway centerpiece hangs from a delicate chain ornamented with emerald green Swarovski crystals, and the necklace closes securely with a lobster clasp and a long extender chain to allow the necklace to adjust between approximately 16 1/2" and 20 7/8".

The wire archway is slightly under 1 5/8" tall and just over 1 1/8" across at the widest point.

The wire used in this piece is untreated copper, and will tarnish further with time.  A polishing cloth will easily polish up the top layers of the wire wrapped archway, creating greater contrast with the oxidized wires behind.  All findings are copper, brass, or copper-plated brass.  I can include a Moonshine polishing cloth on request for an additional $3.
