"Nightmare Before Christmas" Handmade Crystal Spiderweb Ornament | Electroformed Copper Christmas Tree Décor

If you don't love "Nightmare Before Christmas," then keep scrolling. This is for the die-hard fans who either want to be buried with it, or want to pass it down as an heirloom ornament ;)

Remember the scene where Jack Skellington is reading by the fire, and you get to see a quick glimpse of his spider building a Christmas light web? This was my inspiration. It took me two holiday seasons to finally complete this piece. Decked out with lots of sparkly Swarovski crystals--this one of a kind handmade ornament will look good on any tree!

I lovingly handmade this Nightmare Before Christmas web by giving it a uniquely textured electroformed copper setting, and then oxidizing it. I even buffed in some contrast to make the spider darker, almost black, and to give the web some depth. It is sturdy, but please always use care when hanging on the tree or when storing. 

🍄 Total length of your spider web ornament is approx. 4.44" including full length of ribbon. Diameter of the crystal in copper is approx. 2.19" --this ornament is not very heavy.

🍄 HOW IT'S MADE: there are many layers of prep I do before electroforming a handmade piece. Once ready, it sits in my electro-tank for 14–40 hours, depending on its size and copper needs. The copper collects molecule by molecule, creating strength and unique texture.

I rapidly oxidized the metal slightly, then coated it with a very thin layer of jewelry lacquer to help preserve the patina. This coating naturally wears off over time.
Copper never rusts—when it encounters moisture, it protects itself by creating a living patina. The oxidized layer is surface only; the metal can always be polished if you prefer it brighter.

🍄 I include a small polishing cloth sample with every order + simple care instructions—like keeping the piece dry, and storing it in a small plastic baggy, with padding around it before putting it away for next year. Copper may change color slightly with time, which adds to its unique charm. you can always use polishing cloth if you want to brighten the metal in areas to make it lighter.
