Copper wire and Turquoise

Ananda - Bliss - The condition of utter joy!
A neck torc which has a beautiful large drop shaped piece of stabilised Turquoise as the focal point, which I have encased in smooth sweeps of copper wire. The flowing lines of copper wire continue around this stone. The smooth wire is accented with sweeps of copper beads of graduating sizes. The shape of the focal stone is balanced with swirls and sweeps of copper wire.
The neck torc is made with very thick copper wire, which I have hand forged, to form the supporting frame for the whole piece. hammering it all the way round, to strengthen. I have then hammered a textured detail over the whole piece, adding a contrast in textures to the round and smooth, flowing lines of the detail.
The Torc has an inner circumference of 17 1/2', the necklace length is 16', with a 2'gap, which can be opened, to make it larger. The detail in the center measures 2 1/3' tall and is 1' at it's widest point
I have added a patina to this piece to highlight the detail.
