Made this for a customer, copper, with silver jump rings, just like other heart pendants I have made but with jump rings on both sides as per the customers request. I really like the way the patina turned out.

Copper Boll Weevil Head Badge
The boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) is a beetle measuring an average length of six millimeters, which feeds on cotton buds and flowers. Thought to be native to Central America, it migrated into the United States from Mexico in the late 19th century and had infested all U.S. cotton-growing areas by the 1920s, devastating the industry and the people working in the American south. During the late 20th century it became a serious pest in South America as well. Since 1978, the Boll Weevil Eradication Program in the U.S. has allowed full-scale cultivation to resume in many regions. It is also a bad ass looking bug, that even has its own monument.
This little guy had a profound effect on the economy and social status of the southern part of this country.
This idea came to me when it was suggested I try make one by a customer of mine. I think it came out rather nicely.
Copper, etched, and patina.
