Product Description
This 19mm x 23mm handmade sawfish pendant is crafted in oxidized copper and brass plating, featuring a very rustic oval shape with a flat back and attached ring. Each piece is artisan-made in Ghana, reflecting traditional African metalwork techniques and tribal-inspired design.
The oxidized finish gives the pendant a vintage, antique look, with earthy tones ranging from deep brown to muted gold. Because it is handmade, every pendant is unique in texture, tone, and detailing, making it ideal for one-of-a-kind jewelry creations.
Brass is a durable alloy of copper and zinc, valued for its warm golden color, while copper adds a reddish, organic tone and develops a natural patina over time .
