This large sea turtle pendant by Patricia Healey captures the graceful movement of a turtle gliding through the ocean. The bail is cleverly soldered at an angle on the back, giving the impression that the turtle is swimming mid-journey, reflecting their long migrations across vast waters. The shell's intricate patterns are created through hand stamping, while the body is formed using the traditional repoussé technique to lift and shape the copper from the reverse side. A flame-torched patina reveals natural variations of rich reds, rose tones, and warm copper highlights, sealed to preserve its vibrant beauty.
*Handmade and flame-finished, each piece will have its own unique color variation.
