Crossgrain – Petrified Wood Pendant Necklace – Handmade Copper Jewelry

Some stones feel like they carry echoes.

This one holds time itself.

This striking pendant features a piece of high-contrast petrified wood with a natural cross pattern that looks like it was painted by the forest itself. Rich browns and blacks meet in bold lines, revealing the fossilized grain of a tree that lived millions of years ago.

I set it in warm copper using a hand-fabricated backless design, detailed with gallery wire to frame the stone without hiding its story. The open setting lets light hit both sides—giving it an almost glowing warmth in sunlight.

Finished with a sturdy copper bail and hung on a soft black deer hide cord, this piece is earthy and grounding with just the right edge.

Wear it as a quiet anchor.

A symbol of rooted strength and slow transformation.
