Turritella Agate Copper Wire Wrapped Pendant Necklace, Handmade Gemstone Statement Pendant, One of a Kind Gift
Turritella Agate Copper Wire Wrapped Pendant Necklace
A handcrafted statement pendant made in the UK, a genuine turritella agate stone, wire-encased in oxidised copper with a woven bail and modern twisted wire detail running mainly down one side with a smaller flourish on the other. Overall pendant size 28x68mm.
Ancient fossilised spiral shells are embedded throughout this extraordinary turritella agate stone, millions of years of natural history captured in a single pendant. The dark brown and black matrix of the agate is punctuated by the pale, intricate forms of fossilised turritella shells, making every stone a unique piece of the earth’s story. The genuine stone, has a long, slender form that gives the pendant an elegant, elongated silhouette. The bail is woven with fine copper wire, and modern twisted wire details run mainly down one side of the stone with a smaller flourish on the other, an asymmetric, contemporary approach that lets the extraordinary stone remain the focal point. The whole piece is treated with liver of sulphur for a rich, dark earthy finish.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece, not made to order. As a natural stone, every turritella agate has its own unique fossil patterning. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Design Notes
The turritella agate stone is encased in raw copper wire shaped to follow the stone’s long, narrow form. The bail is woven with fine copper wire, with modern twisted wire details running mainly down one side of the stone and a smaller flourish on the other, an asymmetric design that complements the elongated silhouette. The copper is treated with liver of sulphur to force natural oxidisation. Copper will naturally darken further over time and can be buffed with a wire brush to restore its warmth. As each piece is made around a unique stone, no two pendants are ever the same.
