Apatite woven copper wire pendant
To create her I weaves together 5 strands of wire to create a pattern which the bent around the stone and secured firmly around her
The wire to make her back was bent to shape and then hammered for extra strength, some smaller gauge wire was weaved and swirled in the back to create a “seat“ for the beautiful Apatite to sit in the framework.
After all that more decorative swirls we’re created for the bail.
After everything was tweaked to make sure everything sits right, the piece needs to be scrubbed with soapy water aswell as with vinegar and bicarbonate to remove any flux… after that it gets oxidised and again scrubbed. To finish off the pendant undergoes a 2 step polish ( one by hand and then with the dremel)
And finally a layer of sealant is applied to prevent the metal from unsightly oxidation and greening. I very much love the process of creating a pice of art from just a piece of wire and I hope you also appreciate the work that has gone into it.
i hope you enjoy this piece 💙
Blue Apatite is a stone of manifestation attuned to the future, activating psychic abilities and allowing expansion of knowledge. Apatite will stimulate the intellect and brings ideas from the mind down into the earth realm through realizations. This stone allows for a deeper dive and reflection into one’s self, seeking self-insight and inner clarity. Apatite will keep you on a search for “freedom” as it keeps you attuned to always planning what’s next in your life.
Blue Apatite is known to increase the strength and frequency of lucid dreaming. Placing a piece in your pillow case will allow increased visionary states that will strengthen as you become attuned to another realm. Blue Apatite will also aid in astral projection and allow for “vertical vision”, being able to see all levels of consciousness working harmoniously.
