✨ Handmade Copper Wire Braided Bail Gemstone Necklace ✨

Inherited from the artist's father - rare Luminite gemstones

A piece of family history meets artisan craftsmanship with this handmade copper wire braided bail gemstone necklace . This stunning handmade copper wire braided bail gemstone necklace features an exceptionally rare Luminite gemstone—a "gentle amplifier of light" found exclusively in a remote region of the United States. These precious stones were inherited by artist Alexa Martha from her father in 2014, making each pendant not just jewelry, but a piece of family legacy.

The glowing 12mm Luminite bead dangles gracefully from a signature 5-wire handmade copper wire braided bail gemstone necklace which features a hammer-textured copper donut, creating a piece that honors both ancient earth and modern artistry.

About Luminite - The Rare "Light Amplifier":

Luminite is an extraordinarily rare semi-precious stone that serves as a gentle amplifier of light—it seems to glow from within, creating an ethereal, luminous quality unlike any other gemstone.

What makes Luminite special:

  • Extreme rarity - Found exclusively in one remote U.S. region
  • Ancient origins - 251 to 500 million years old (Paleozoic to Cambrian era)
  • Unique formation - Created under intense pressure and heat over millions of years
  • Light-amplifying properties - Appears to glow softly, especially in natural light
  • Limited supply - No longer being mined; existing stones are all that remain
  • Heirloom stones - These specific Luminite beads were inherited from the artist's father

The personal story: Artist Alexa Martha inherited these Luminite stones from her father in 2014. By incorporating them into her jewelry designs like her handmade copper wire braided bail gemstone necklace , she honors his memory while sharing these rare treasures with others. Each pendant carries not just geological history, but family history.

Artisan Craftsmanship Details:

12mm luminite gemstone bead - Rare, glowing stone (inherited heirloom)
Signature 5-wire braided bail - Hand-braided from 18-gauge copper wire
Hammer-textured copper donut - 1-inch hand-sculpted washer (24-gauge)
Sterling silver Bali bead - Handmade daisy flower headpin (soldered)
Copper jump ring - 16-gauge, secure attachment
Silver soldering - Professional-grade construction
Made in Montana - Handcrafted with care

The handmade copper wire braided bail gemstone necklace option includes: 20-inch black braided cotton bolo cord (3mm), copper end caps and clasp, ready to wear immediately.

Pendant Dimensions:

  • Luminite bead: 12mm (approximately 1/2 inch)
  • Copper donut: 1 inch diameter
  • Total pendant drop: Approximately 2 inches
  • Necklace length: 20 inches (sits at collarbone)
  • Weight: Lightweight and comfortable

Antiqued vs. Bright Copper:

Bright Copper (Standard): High-polished, warm metallic finish that will naturally develop patina over time

Antiqued Copper (+$0.50): Pre-oxidized for an instant vintage, aged appearance with darker tones and highlights

Both finishes are beautiful—choose based on your style preference!

The Luminite Glow:

Unlike most gemstones, luminite has a unique quality—it seems to amplify and reflect light in a soft, glowing way. In natural sunlight, the stone appears to illuminate from within. In indoor lighting, it maintains a gentle, ethereal glow. This rare optical property makes luminite highly sought after by gemstone collectors and metaphysical practitioners.

Perfect For:

  • Gemstone collectors seeking rare stones
  • Those who appreciate heirloom and vintage materials
  • Minimalist jewelry lovers (simple, elegant design)
  • Layering with other necklaces
  • Everyday wear (lightweight, comfortable)
  • Meaningful gifts with a story
  • Anyone drawn to unique, glowing gemstones
  • Spiritual seekers (light amplification properties)
  • Honoring family legacy and history

Why Luminite is So Rare:

Luminite was discovered in a single, remote location in the United States and is no longer actively mined. The existing supply is all that remains, making these stones increasingly rare and valuable. The combination of limited geographic source, no new mining, unique light-amplifying properties, and ancient age (251-500 million years) makes luminite one of the most sought-after semi-precious stones among collectors.

Care Instructions:

Luminite: Durable and requires minimal care. Wipe gently with a soft cloth. The stone's glow is natural and permanent—it won't fade.

Copper: Will develop natural patina over time (or choose antiqued finish for instant vintage look). To maintain bright copper, wipe with soft cloth or use our lemon juice and salt method.

Necklace: Black cotton cord is durable and comfortable. Remove before swimming or showering to extend life.

What's Included:

Pendant Only Options: Handmade luminite pendant (bright or antiqued copper), ready to add to your own chain, story card about luminite and heirloom stones, beautiful gift packaging
