    Custom Handmade Jewelry By Menkoi

    Hello everyone.

    This will be my very first post of my products. Im really interested in what you all will say about this item. I put alot of thinking to this peice and hope you guys enjoy looking at it

     

     

    This is an original design, handmade pendant crafted out of cocobolo wood, an exotic hardwood. A free-form and unique design has been milled into the face of the wood pendant.

     

     

    It measures approximately 1.25" x 9/16" x 1/4". No two are exactly the same, as the design is cut by hand. Included is a 16" 1mm cable steel necklace with a magnetic closure.

    The lines are so clean and smooth --

    Would you mind if I ask how you made it?

    Very nice!  I also like the others at your store, especially the brass dots pendant.

     I like the way the geometric carving works with the more organic look of the wood grain.  That's very nifty wood, and very nice work!

     This is gorgeous! Love the juxtaposition of the metal cable and the natural wood. Wonderful use of complexity within simplicity. :^))) Cocobolo is one of my favorites - I have a pool cue that sports extensive inlay with it - the wood just gets better with age!

    A great pendant!  Do be careful with the dust from the wood it can cause allergic reactions.  Toxicity of the wood is documented.

     Best,

    As a machinist, I like to see the machine shop brought to jewelry making. Nice work!
