Reclaimed Copper Necklace/Choker

in #jewellery7 years ago (edited)

Hello!
So i thought id share this piece i made a while ago now. I had a vague idea of what i wanted it to look like but, like all my favourite things ive made, it was largely unplanned. I'd been looking at anatomical drawings of muscles and also wood grain so you can see how they influenced the outcome here.

All the wire in this was reclaimed electrical wire, its a bit of a laborious process stripping and straightening each piece but its free material that would otherwise go to waste so worth it in my eyes.
The copper beads were something i was dying to add in to my work and im really pleased with the outcome. They give it a bit more of an organic look. @inamorata heres one the bits i mentioned a couple of weeks ago. the copper beads, worth getting some!

Heres a few more close ups of the necklace
