Australian Varascite Axis Necklace

This handcrafted brass necklace features a sculptural pendant composed of concentric brass rings centered with a polished Australian variscite cabochon. The circular form is deliberate and grounded, drawing on ancient geometric symbolism and early metalwork traditions rather than ornamental trends. Hand-worked brass surfaces retain subtle tool marks and tonal variation, giving the piece a sense of age, intention, and quiet strength.
 
The pendant measures approximately 2½ inches in diameter and is suspended from two 9.5-inch lengths of brass chain, joined at the back with a hand-formed hook-and-loop clasp. The weight and scale feel substantial without being heavy, allowing the necklace to sit comfortably at the chest while remaining visually strong. This piece wears well as a standalone focal necklace and pairs naturally with other brass or stone jewelry. An excellent choice for those drawn to handcrafted brass necklaces, variscite jewelry, and designs rooted in material tradition and early adornment.
 
Stone Properties
Variscite has long been associated with emotional balance, inner steadiness, and clarity of intention. Traditionally regarded as a stone that supports calm decision-making and thoughtful presence, it is often linked to grounding emotional energy while encouraging patience and compassion (Hall; Simmons & Ahsian).
