Solid sterling silver, sculpted, pointy heart from the Sweet Hearts Collection. The hearts were originally hand carved then produced using the traditional method of "lost-wax" casting.
There are different sizes and shapes of hearts, this is heart no. 4 - 'Pointy Heart'.
 
The inspiration for all of the hearts originally came from a piece of Swedish art glass in my collection.
 
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 Mother's Day or just as a present to yourself.
 
The pointy 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 x 9 mm wide at it's widest point.

The heart is attached to a 1.8 mm oval belcher chain with two jump rings so that the heart always sits at the front and the lobster catch fastening stays at the back.
 
The fastenings have been securely soldered together.
 
The necklace measures 412 mm from end to end including the lobster catch which enables the heart to nestle just below the collar bone. 
 
This heart pendant can be paired with other pieces from the Sweet Hearts collection.
 
The Sweet-Hearts Pointy Heart  pendant would work well as part of a layered collection. It's small enough to fit in yet distictive enough to stand out.
 
The silver heart has been finished with a trace of applied oxidation to enhance it's sculptural qualities.
 
The pendant has been tested as required and hallmarked for Birmingham Assay Office.
