A Collection of 12 Pieces of Hand Hammered Folk Art Jewelry in Copper and Aluminum - A collection of 12 pieces of vintage Hand Hammered Folk Art Jewelry, primarily utilizing Copper and Aluminum construction as confirmed by user facts. The collection includes a bolo tie featuring a textured Aluminum slider overlaid with a stylized Copper sunburst or acorn design. The slider is secured by a light braided cord with tapered Copper tips. Two main necklaces are present: one features a large circular pendant marked SHEET METAL WORKERS LOCAL 112, displaying the union's insignia (crossed shears, hammer, and chisel) in Copper relief against an Aluminum background. The second necklace features a detailed pendant of a bird in flight with an Aluminum body and Copper wings. The group also contains five individual butterfly charms or pendants and one heart-shaped pendant, all in uniform Aluminum metal featuring stamped details resembling rivets. The heart pendant shows an engraved capital L on the reverse. Completing the collection are a small ring with an enameled pink and yellow flower, and two additional, separate Aluminum chains of varying links. The construction technique suggests a folk art approach, incorporating hammering and mixed metal applications.
