Giveaway #2

Inlay Pendant

 Here are the rules:
If you wish to be entered into the drawing for a chance to win this piece of jewelry just leave a comment on this post, be sure to include some form of identity and not just an anonymous post. You have until the end of Friday August 20th at the stroke of midnight. You may come across this post on other blogs as well, if you leave a comment on that blog your name will be entered again, one entry per blog but no limit on the number of blogs you enter in. After Friday I will gather all names from all blogs and then randomly choose a winner, that winner will then receive this piece of jewelry for free. Good luck.

This second giveaway is for a pendant with a piece of copper that has been textured and given a heat patina then set into a rosewood frame. This was the original design for a series of these I am doing and this is the first of two that I will be giving away.



The reason I am giving them away and not selling them is because of the small crack that formed in the wood as the copper inlay was set into the frame. Either the tolerances were to tight or I just pressed to hard, either way it cracked and I just don't feel comfortable selling it in its condition. I don't believe it will crack any further and the whole piece is pretty solid because I used a strong adhesive to set the copper piece in place which is now acting as sort of a reinforcement.

This piece has two cracks, on at the top left and the other at the bottom right.



The dimensions of this piece are 1" wide by 2" tall by 3/16" thick and hangs from a 20" waxed cotton cord with a hand made sterling s-hook.
