Copper Holes
Every once in a while, an artist will create a piece that quickly becomes a "favorite". This one is most definitely mine!
The textured copper pendant on this necklace is what brought the original design to life. I combined howlite chips with purple and turqoise agate and solid copper chain to give this necklace a refined, worldly look. It is said that agate helps to give the wearer clarity and a broader sense of perspective.
The toggle clasp is made from a nickel-free alloy that won't irritate sensitive skin so you can enjoy this delightfully different necklace for years to come.
