This is a silver pendant I made about a year ago... It's shaped like the island of Cyprus where my mother was born. It consists of two thin sheets of silver with a thicker sheet of copper in between. I included the copper because of the historic relationship between Cyprus and its copper production. The Romans called copper "Cyprium" which was eventually shortened to "Cuprum" which is the root of the English word "Copper".
