Celtic Knot Necklace with Tiffany Stone Pendant, La Tene

Each link was formed from Bronze wire, hammered, oxidized then sealed.  The jasper is set in an etched bronze pendant. 

Each item begins as a piece of sheet metal, copper, bronze, brass or nickel.  After a pattern is transferred to the metal, the piece is etched in a salt-water solution.  Each piece is hand cut, sanded, and polished. A patina may be applied or it may be hand painted with dye oxide.  A clear polymer coating is applied.
