Wire-Wrapped Chrysocolla and Azurite Cabochon Pendant

Story

Deep within copper mines, water trickles through rock to create these brilliant blue and green minerals. Lapidaries slice and polish these rough stones to reveal hidden, planet-like vistas. An artisan then hand-sculpted the wire frame to perfectly hug this specific stone's unique contours.

Maker / Origin

This piece is the work of an independent studio jeweler or lapidary artist. Wire-wrapping is a highly specialized, ancient technique revived by the modern studio craft movement, where artists bypass traditional soldering to frame stones using tension, physics, and manual dexterity alone.

Condition & Value

The pendant appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips or deep scratches on the polished cabochon. The wire wrapping is tight, secure, and free of distorting bends or heavy tarnish. Keeping it dry and polished will preserve its luster.
