Painted Patina Crescent Pendant Necklace

• Hand-applied multicolor patina
• Adjustable linked-ring chain
• Bar-and-loop closure
• Hand-formed crescent silhouette

The patina and the forming are done by hand, so color patterning and small surface marks vary slightly from one piece to the next.

The pendant is hand-formed from sheet brass into a filled crescent, then finished with a patina applied by hand rather than dipped. That control — brushing and dabbing solution onto different areas, letting each oxidize for a different length of time — is what builds the drifting bands of blue, violet and sea green instead of a uniform factory tone.

The shape is deliberately a plain geometric form, not a symbol. A disc that catches color and light, and does not need a story to earn its place on the neckline.

The chain is built separately, ring by ring, and joined to the pendant, so the finished piece carries the marks of several distinct hand processes rather than a single machine step.

• Technique: Hand-patinated brass metalwork

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Keep away from water, perfume and harsh chemicals so the patina holds its color.
