This is an etched pendant featuring a beautiful stylized letter A from an antique book. The design is etched into solid copper sheet metal with ferric chloride, then given a patina, tumbled, hand polished, and sealed with a permanent clear lacquer. Etching is a process that has been used for centuries to create gorgeous designs in metal. The pendant measures 1 1/8" in diameter x 1/32" thick (28mm x 1mm). The pendant comes with a bail so it can be used with a necklace of your choice. The bail has an interior diameter of approximately 3mm (1/8"). The bail is made of copper plated leadfree pewter. The jump rings are made of enameled copper. If you would like a necklace to hang it from, I have several necklace choices available for a small upcharge. Choose between an antiqued copper rolo chain in 18", 24", or 36" length, an antiqued copper ball chain 24" in length, or an adjustable black leather cord necklace which is 18-19.5" in length. You can choose an option at checkout. This pendant should give you years of enjoyment. If the lacquer ever wears off, it can be easily touched up with clear nail polish.
