The Hedge Witch
One of my favorite witchy archetypes is that of the Hedge Witch. A Hedge Witch is typically seen as a mysterious maker of magic who lives on the edges of a community. Often a loner, she may be respected, feared, or probably both. She lives at the border of the town and the wilds, dwells on the edges, where the hedgerows grow. She is the wise, wicked, and cunning practitioner, and the townsfolk seek out her help when all else fails. And she will help, perhaps with a spell or a potion or a tarot reading. She prefers nature and her home to crowded places or social activities. She communes with animals and sits in the stillness of the forest as she hones her magic.
I created this necklace in tribute to the Hedge Witches of past, present, and future. This dramatic collar necklace features a copper sheen obsidian gemstone set in antiqued copper wire. Copper Sheen Obsidian is known for its intense protective qualities, acting as a shield that deflects negativity and bad energy. The stone itself is black with gorgeous copper-colored swirls and flecks that dance in the sunlight.
The pendant portion is comprised of hammered wire encasing the stone in a design both symmetrical and lavish, balancing curves with sharp edges. It is accented with copper and glass beads. The wire then twists wildly up the collar portion of the necklace, creating a statement piece that is enchanting and mysterious.
The pendant component measures approximately 2.25 inches tall and 1.5 inch wide. It is attached to the stiff collar portion, which is made from copper wire twisted together. The curved collar portion measures approximately 8 inches across and sits high up against the neckline, on or above the collar bone.
The piece in its entirety hangs from a copper alloy chain which is adjustable to any link. The necklace as a whole, with chain, measures approximately 18 inches long at its longest point, and is adjustable shorter. Dangling from the back of the chain is a faceted black obsidian bead that will cascade dramatically down the back of the neck when worn.
This piece is wrapped in bare copper wire, then carefully antiqued by hand and polished to bring out the organic highlights and lowlights of the beautiful metal.
There is a slight flexibility to the collar component, but please be extremely gentle and DO NOT BEND IT.
