A very simple cross with heart and roses detail. Made of copper wire and hammered for texture and strength. Also oxidized and polished to bring out details.
I'm taking custom order for this cross pendant. It comes with a complimentary black suede cord. Genuine leather. If you'd rather not receive the bonus cord for some reason (maybe you're a vegan or have your own cord) let me know.
The original cross was made for my cousin as a gift

what gauge of wire do you use and how do you go about hammering it? I have tried to hammer my wire to no avail. This, as all your work, is extraordinary.
I think this was 18. Only hammer non coated wire (like solid copper or silver wire). the coating may be destroyed after a good while. You can burn off the coating or strip the wire prior wire wrapping but i wouldn't suggest that for artistic/colorful bead wire.
i put it over my steel block and hammer it with my regular ball peen hammer
brilliant--thank you so much for the advice! and yes, that coating is troublesome. half the time it rubs off just cause i used my pliers on the same spot twice!
