Mid Century Copper Flower Necklace – 1950s Artisan Modernist Pendant, Handcrafted Abstract Floral Statement Jewelry

Step into the sculptural elegance of mid-century design with this striking artisan copper necklace, handcrafted in the 1950s and rich with modernist character.

The bold abstract floral pendant is formed from hand-cut copper petals arranged in a starburst bloom, centered by a luminous purple cabochon that catches the light beautifully. Subtle tool marks, warm patina, and mixed-metal links speak to its studio-made origins—each detail intentionally imperfect, expressive, and unmistakably mid-century.

This piece embodies the post-war studio jewelry movement, where artists embraced copper, geometry, and organic forms over mass production. It wears effortlessly as a statement necklace and pairs beautifully with linen, knits, denim, or minimalist silhouettes.
