Rainbow outlet angel aura flower with butterfly rhinestones copper pendant necklace.

This is an electroformed pendant necklace hand-crafted with love.

ABOUT Electroforming:

Electroforming is an alchemical process in which layers of copper are formed over the area conductive paint is applied to while the pieces are in a tank connected to a power supply, creating the one of a kind jewelry you see here. 
Prior to going through a copper bath, I shape and hand-sculpt the piece using a strong sculpting medium. 
After the bath, I hand polish and I use a varnish called Protecta Clear to seal and protect.

Metal-coated crystals are natural crystals, such as quartz, whose surface has been coated with metal to give them an iridescent metallic sheen. Crystals treated this way are used as gemstones outlet and for other decorative purposes. Possible coatings include gold (resulting in a stone called aqua aura), indium, titanium, niobium and copper. Other names for crystals treated so include; angel aura, flame aura, opal aura, or rainbow quartz.

Aqua aura is created in a vacuum chamber from quartz crystals and gold vapour by vapour deposition. The quartz is heated to 871 °C (1600 °F) in a vacuum, and then gold vapor is added to the chamber.

The gold atoms fuse to the crystal's surface, which gives the crystal an iridescent metallic sheen. When viewed under a gemological microscope in diffused direct transmitted light.
