Solid silver sculpted heart from the Sweet Hearts collection. The original heart was carved in wax and the hearts are produced using the traditional method of lost-wax casting.
 
The inspiration for the hearts came from a piece of Swedish art glass.
 
Here the heart is presented as a pendant.  The pendant would be lovely as a gift, to mark a special event like Valentine's Day, or as a present to yourself.
 
The heart has been modelled in a similar style to the heart earrings but it's a bit bigger and more pointy, to make more of a statement. The heart measures 12 mm long.
 
The heart pendant can be paired with other pieces from the Sweet Hearts collection.
 
The heart is attached to a fine belcher type chain with two jump rings so that the heart always sits at the front and the lobster catch fastening stays at the back.
 
All of the fastenings have been securely soldered together.
 
The necklace measures 412 mm from end to end including the catch which allows the heart to nestle just below the collar bone. 
 
The silver heart has been finished with a trace of applied oxidation to enhance it's sculptural qualities.
