A Tiny Spiral with a Big Job
I carry these copper-plated brass coils because they solve a genuinely common problem in jewelry making and altar craft: how do you turn a loose tumbled stone into a pendant without drilling, gluing, or wrapping wire by hand? The answer is a coil like this one. Each piece is a tight brass spiral, pre-formed into a 3/4-inch cage, that you expand with a gentle twist to accept a small stone, bead, or charm, then let spring back to cradle it. You get 24 per set, which is enough to build a full run of finished pieces or stock your craft supplies for months.
Copper carries a long tradition in planetary magic and folk practice. In Western occult correspondence, copper is the metal of Venus, the planet governing love, beauty, abundance, and sensuality. That association runs through Greco-Roman tradition, through Renaissance ceremonial magic texts, and into the practical root and folk magic of the American South, where copper nails, coins, and wire appear regularly in money and love workings. Pairing one of these coils with rose quartz, citrine, or green aventurine turns a simple craft piece into something intentional, a wearable charm that carries both the stone’s energy and copper’s Venusian resonance. If you want to explore more stones to work with, browse my stone and crystal pendants collection for pairing ideas.
These coils expand into a spiraling design that holds the insert piece firmly without adhesive or cord. Some may arrive already opened slightly, ready for loading. There’s no cord included, so you’ll thread your own chain, leather cord, or jump ring through the top loop of the spiral to complete the pendant. That flexibility is part of what makes them useful across so many applications, from quick handmade gifts to production batches for a craft table.

How to Use the Copper Plated Coil
How to load a copper coil pendant and wear it for jewelry or ritual use.
- Choose Your Stone or Charm
Pick a small tumbled stone, bead, or charm that fits inside the coil opening. The coil holds pieces roughly 1/2 inch or smaller with ease. Copper pairs especially well with rose quartz, pyrite, or citrine for Venus and abundance intentions.
- Open and Load the Coil
Hold the coil at both ends and gently twist or pull to widen the spiral gap. Slide your stone or charm into the center of the coil, then release so the wire springs back and cradles it securely. No tools are needed for this step.
- Attach to a Cord or Chain
Thread a cord, chain, or jump ring through the top loop of the coil to create a pendant. You can also use the coil as a decorative element on a mojo bag tie, a charm bracelet, or a wire-wrapped altar piece without any additional hardware.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock these because the construction is consistent and the format is practical. Copper-plated brass holds up better than bare wire coils for everyday wear, and the 3/4-inch size is the sweet spot for the tumbled stones and small beads that most customers already have or are looking to use. A set of 24 gives you enough to experiment with sizing and load styles without running out quickly. One honest note: copper plating is a surface finish, not solid metal, so if you handle the coil a lot or get it wet regularly, expect some patina or wear over time. That’s normal with plated brass, and many people prefer the aged look. These are craft and jewelry tools, not heirloom pieces, and they perform exactly as that kind of component should.
Common Questions
Small tumbled stones and beads up to about 1/2 inch in diameter fit most comfortably. The coil expands slightly, so a snug fit holds the stone securely without glue. Avoid anything with sharp edges that could kink the wire coil permanently.
These are copper-plated brass coils, not solid copper. The plating gives the warm copper tone at an accessible price point. With regular handling, some wear may show over time, which many crafters find adds natural character to the piece.
Yes, that is a common use. You get 24 coils per set, enough for a small production batch. Load each with a stone or crystal, add a cord or chain, and you have a finished pendant ready for gifting or sale at a craft market.
Copper is linked to Venus in Western planetary magic, covering love, beauty, money, and sensuality. Loading a copper coil with rose quartz or green aventurine and wearing it during intention-setting is a common practice in folk magic traditions.
